§ 17-25-409 — Proceedings upon violation

(a) Regarding any violation of this subchapter, the Contractors Licensing Board shall have the power to issue subpoenas and bring before the board as a witness any person in the state and may require the witness to bring with him or her any book, writing, or other thing under his or her control which he or she is bound by law to produce in evidence. (b) No proceedings under this section may be commenced by the board after three (3) years from the date on which the act or omission which is the basis for the proceeding occurred. (c) The board shall have the power to file suit in the Pulaski County Circuit Court to enforce any cease and desist order not complied with within fifteen (15) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, of service on the contractor of the order. If the circuit court finds the order to have been properly issued, it may enforce it by any means by which injunctions are ordinarily enforced. However, nothing shall be construed herein to diminish the contractor's right to appeal. (d) All hearings and appeals therefrom under this section shall be pursuant to the provisions of the Arkansas Administrative Procedure Act, § 25-15-201 et seq.
