TITLE 26 BANKS AND BANKING CHAPTER 29 MONEY TRANSMISSION 26-2924. Enforcement. (1) If it appears to the director that any person has committed or is about to commit a violation of any provision of this chapter or of any rule or order of the director, the director may: (a)  Issue a cease and desist order ordering such person to cease and desist violating or continuing to violate any provision of this chapter or any rule or order issued in accordance with this chapter; or (b)  Apply to the district court for an order enjoining such person from violating or continuing to violate any provision of this chapter or any rule or order and for injunctive or such other relief as the nature of the case may require. (2)  The director may enter into consent orders at any time with any person to resolve any matter arising under the provisions of this chapter. A consent order must be signed by the person to whom it is issued or a duly authorized representative, and must indicate agreement to the terms contained therein. A consent order need not constitute an admission by any person that any provision of this chapter or any rule or order promulgated or issued thereunder has been violated nor need it constitute a finding by the director that such person has violated any provision of this chapter or any rule or order promulgated or issued thereunder. (3)  Notwithstanding the issuance of a consent order, the director may seek civil or criminal penalties or compromise civil penalties concerning matters encompassed by the consent order unless the consent order by its terms expressly precludes the director from so doing.
