				requiring the cessation of all business operations for such employer in the
				state.

				sublets any work at a particular worksite to a subcontractor and the contractor
				and subcontractor each failed to secure the payment of compensation for the
				subcontractor or the employees of the subcontractor engaged in work at the
				particular worksite, then a Stop-Work Order issued to the contractor shall
				require the cessation of all business operations of the contractor at that
				particular worksite.
