Under current law, the commissioner issues a cease-and-desist order or conducts a summary license suspension by issuing an order to show cause as to why a cease-and-desist order or license suspension should not be issued. After appropriate notices are given, a hearing is scheduled with the securities board or an administrative law judge. At the hearing, it is determined whether to issue a cease-and-desist order or suspend the license and what form the order or suspension will take. The bill changes this process to authorize the commissioner to issue a preliminary cease-and-desist order or a summary license-suspension order. If the person that is the subject of the order disagrees with the order, the person may request a hearing to resolve the issue. The hearing must take place within 30 days after issuance of the order.
