The order may require the licensee or subject person to take affirmative action to correct any condition resulting from the action or violation.

If the commissioner determines that any of the factors set forth in subsection (1) are true with respect to a licensee or subject person of a licensee and that the action or violation is likely to cause the insolvency of or substantial dissipation of the assets or earnings of the licensee; is likely to seriously weaken the condition of the licensee; or is likely to otherwise seriously prejudice the interests of the licensee before the completion of proceedings conducted under subsection (1), the commissioner may order the licensee or subject person to cease and desist from that action or violation.

The right of a licensee or subject person to whom an order is issued under subsection (2) to petition for judicial review of the order is not affected by the failure of the licensee or subject person to apply to the commissioner for a hearing on the order issued under this subsection.
