The commissioner may issue and enforce a written or printed “stop sale, use or removal” order to the owner or custodian of any lot of fertilizer to hold such fertilizer at a designated place when the commissioner finds such fertilizer is being offered or exposed for sale in violation of any provision of this chapter or any regulation adopted by the commissioner pursuant to section 22-111j until the provisions of public act 09-229 or any such regulation have been complied with and such fertilizer is released in writing by the commissioner or such violation has been otherwise legally disposed. The commissioner shall release the fertilizer so withdrawn when the requirements of the provisions of this chapter or any regulation adopted by the commissioner pursuant to section 22-111j have been complied with and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the withdrawal have been paid. The owner or custodian of any lot of fertilizer, who has been issued a stop sale, use or removal order pursuant to this section, shall be given the opportunity to appear for a hearing by the commissioner or the commissioner's designee.
