  1. The commissioner may enter into a consent order at any time with any person to resolve any matter arising under this chapter. A consent order shall be signed by the person to whom it is issued, or a duly authorized representative, and shall indicate agreement to the terms contained in the order. A consent order need not constitute an admission by any person that any provision of this chapter, or any rule or order promulgated or issued under this chapter has been violated, nor need it constitute a finding by the commissioner that the person has violated this chapter, or any rule or order promulgated or issued under this chapter.
  2. Notwithstanding the issuance of a consent order, the commissioner may seek civil or criminal penalties concerning matters encompassed by the consent order.
  3. In cases involving extraordinary circumstances requiring immediate action, the commissioner may take any enforcement action authorized by this chapter without providing the opportunity for a prior hearing, but shall promptly afford a subsequent hearing upon an application to rescind the action taken that is filed with the commissioner within twenty (20) days after receipt of the notice of the commissioner's emergency action.
