1. The Administrator may issue orders directing persons to desist and refrain from engaging in activities for which they are not licensed under this chapter or conducting activities in a manner not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. 2. A person who has violated any of the provisions of this chapter shall not engage in any activity for which a license issued pursuant to this chapter is required after receiving an order in writing from the Administrator directing the person to desist and refrain from so doing. 3. Within 30 days after the receipt of such an order, the person may file a verified petition with the Administrator for a hearing. 4. The Administrator shall hold a hearing within 30 days after the petition has been filed. If the Administrator fails to hold a hearing within 30 days, or does not render a written decision within 45 days after the final hearing, the cease and desist order is rescinded. 5. If the decision of the Administrator after a hearing is against the person ordered to cease and desist, the person may appeal that decision by filing, within 30 days after the date on which the decision was issued, a petition in the district court for the county in which the person conducted the activity. The burden of proof in the appeal is on the appellant. The court shall consider the decision of the Administrator for which the appeal is taken and is limited solely to a consideration and determination of the question of whether there has been an abuse of discretion on the part of the Administrator in making the decision. 6. In lieu of issuing an order to cease and desist, if the developer is conducting activities in a manner not in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, the Administrator may enter into an agreement with the developer in which the developer agrees to: (a) Discontinue the activities that are not in compliance with this chapter; (b) Pay all costs incurred by the Division in investigating the developers activities and conducting any necessary hearing; and (c) Return to the purchasers any money or property which the developer acquired through such activities. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 239.0115 , the terms of such an agreement are confidential unless violated by the developer.
