2. Any person who is found, upon investigation by the commission, to be in possible violation of sections 323.005 to 323.210 shall be notified by certified mail of the facts constituting such violation, and shall be afforded an opportunity by the commission to explain such facts at an informal hearing to be conducted within fourteen days of such notification. In the event that such person fails to timely respond to such notification or upon unsuccessful resolution of any issues relating to an alleged violation, such person may be summoned to a formal administrative hearing before the commission. Said hearing shall be conducted in conformance with chapter 536. If any person is found to have committed one or more violations of sections 323.005 to 323.210, such person may be ordered to cease and desist from such violation, and the order shall be enforceable in any circuit court of competent jurisdiction, and, in addition, the person may be required to pay a penalty of not more than five hundred dollars per violation and five hundred dollars for each day such violation continues.

1. Violations of this chapter may be referred to the attorney general for appropriate action, except that nothing shall be construed as requiring the commission to refer to the attorney general violations of this chapter whenever the commission believes that the administration and enforcement of the regulations would be served adequately by administrative action under subsection 2 of this section or suitable written notice or warning to any person committing the violations.
2. Any person who fails or refuses to pay, collect, or remit any assessment or fee required of the person by this chapter may be assessed a civil penalty by the commission of not less than five hundred dollars nor more than five thousand dollars for each violation. Each violation shall be a separate offense. In addition, or in lieu of such civil penalty, the commission may issue an order requiring the person to cease-and-desist from continuing the violation. No penalty shall be assessed nor a cease-and-desist order issued unless the person is given notice and opportunity for a hearing before the commission with respect to the violation. The order of the commission assessing a penalty or imposing a cease-and-desist order shall be final and conclusive unless the person affected by the order files a petition for review under chapter 536. Any person who fails to obey a cease-and-desist order after it has become final shall be subject to a civil penalty assessed by the commission, after an opportunity for hearing before the commission, of not more than five hundred dollars for each offense. Each day that the failure continues shall be deemed a separate offense. If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty after it has become a final order, the commission shall refer the matter to the attorney general for recovery of the amount assessed in any appropriate circuit court of the state. In such action, the validity and appropriateness of the final order imposing the civil penalty shall not be subject to review.
