3-279. Cease and desist order


A. If the director has reasonable cause to believe from investigation that any
fertilizer material is being offered or exposed for sale in violation of any of the
provisions of this article, the director may serve the person a cease and desist order
requiring such person, on receiving the notice, to immediately cease and desist from
such act. The order shall be served by any method of service authorized by the Arizona
rules of civil procedure.


B. After service is made upon such person of a cease and desist order, the person
or the director may file an action in the superior court in the county in which a
violation of this article is alleged to have occurred, for an adjudication of the alleged
violation. The court may issue temporary or permanent injunctions, mandatory or
restraining, and intermediate orders it deems necessary. The action shall be tried de
novo.
