The Board may issue a cease and desist order to any educational organization or entity operating without the required authorization to operate and grant degrees. The Board may impose a civil penalty for such a violation. Each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense. The penalty for such a violation shall be a fee or other conditions as established by rule. A penalty fee may not exceed $10,000 per violation. The Attorney General may bring an action in circuit court to enforce the collection of the penalty fee.
The cease and desist order shall be issued to the educational organization or entity, shall contain the name and address of the educational organization or entity and a brief factual statement, and shall identify this Act and the statutory citations of this Act allegedly violated and the penalty, if any, imposed. The cease and desist order must state clearly that the educational organization or entity may choose to request a hearing. If the educational organization or entity does not request a hearing with the Board or its designee within 30 days after the cease and desist order is served, then the cease and desist order shall become final and not subject to appeal notwithstanding anything to the contrary under Section 10 of this Act.
