Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 493. Regulatory Loans § 493.64

Sec. 14.(1) If in the opinion of the commissioner a licensee or registrant is, has, or is about to engage in a practice that poses a threat of financial loss or threat to the public welfare, or is, has, or is about to violate a law or rule, the commissioner may serve a notice as provided in subsection (2).

(2) A notice served under this section shall contain a statement of the facts constituting the alleged practice or violation, and shall fix a time and place at which a hearing will be held to determine whether an order to cease and desist should be issued against the licensee or registrant. The hearing shall be held not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days after service of the notice unless another date is set by the commissioner at the request of the licensee or registrant.

(3) If the licensee or registrant fails to appear at the hearing by a duly authorized representative, the licensee or registrant shall have consented to the issuance of the cease and desist order.

(4) In the event of consent under subsection (3), or if upon the record made at the hearing, the commissioner finds that the practice or violation specified in the notice has been established, the commissioner may serve upon the licensee or registrant an order to cease and desist from the practice or violation. The order may require the licensee or registrant and its directors, officers, members, partners, trustees, employees, and agents to cease and desist from the practice or violation and to take affirmative action to correct the conditions resulting from the practice or violation.

(5) If the commissioner issues a cease and desist order in conjunction with a summary suspension order, the cease and desist order shall become effective on the date of service.

(6) A cease and desist order issued upon consent shall become effective at the time specified in the order and remain effective and enforceable as provided in the order.

(7) Except as provided in subsections (5) and (6) and to the extent it is stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by the commissioner or a court, a cease and desist order shall become effective at the expiration of 30 days after the service of the order upon the licensee or registrant.
