The date for the hearing shall be not less than thirty nor more than forty-five days after such notice has been given by the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance to the corporation, director, officer, or employee.
If, after conducting such hearing, the superintendent of credit unions determines that the corporation, director, officer, or employee is or has knowingly participated in or consented to a violation of this chapter, or engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice, he may issue a final cease-and-desist order. Such final cease-and-desist order may direct the corporation, director, officer, or employee to remedy the violation of this chapter, the unsafe or unsound practice, or the failure to comply, in addition to refraining from such violations or unsafe or unsound practices in the future.
If, after conducting such hearing, the superintendent of insurance determines that the corporation, director, officer, or employee is or has knowingly participated in or consented to a violation of those chapters of Title XXXIX of the Revised Code specified in division (A) of section1761.04of the Revised Code, or engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice, he may issue a final cease-and-desist order.

Such final order of the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance becomes effective upon service on the corporation, director, officer, or employee and remains effective and enforceable as its terms provide, except to such extent as it is stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by action of the superintendent or a reviewing court.
(3) If the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance proposes to issue a cease-and-desist order based on the violation of a supervisory agreement, he shall serve the corporation, director, officer, or employee with a notice of noncompliance. Such notice shall specify the actions that are alleged to be in violation of the supervisory agreement. The notice shall also set a time and place for a hearing, which shall occur not less than thirty nor more than forty-five days after the notice has been served on the corporation, director, officer, or employee. The hearing shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in section119.09of the Revised Code, except that, notwithstanding division (E) of section119.01of the Revised Code, such hearing shall not be a public hearing.
If, after such hearing, the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance determines that the corporation, director, officer, or employee has knowingly violated the supervisory agreement, he may issue a final cease-and-desist order.
If, after such hearing, the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance determines that the corporation, director, officer, or employee has violated the supervisory agreement but that the conduct in question does not constitute a knowing violation, the superintendent shall give the corporation, director, officer, or employee an opportunity to remedy the violation. The superintendent shall issue a statement of specific actions that must be taken by the corporation, director, officer, or employee, and establish a time frame in which the corporation, director, officer, or employee must take such corrective action to comply with the supervisory agreement. If, by the end of such time frame, the corporation, director, officer, or employee has failed to implement the corrective actions required by the superintendent, the superintendent may issue a final cease-and-desist order.
Nothing in this division shall be construed to prevent the superintendent of credit unions from issuing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to divisions (A)(1) and (2) of this section or division (B) of this section based on the violation of this chapter, or on an unsafe or unsound practice of the corporation, director, officer, or employee, even though such violation or practice may also constitute a violation of an outstanding supervisory agreement.
Nothing in this division shall be construed to prevent the superintendent of insurance from issuing a cease-and-desist order pursuant to divisions (A)(1) and (2) of this section or division (B) of this section based on the violation of those chapters of Title XXXIX of the Revised Code specified in division (A) of section1761.04of the Revised Code, or on an unsafe or unsound practice of the corporation, director, officer, or employee, even though such violation or practice may also constitute a violation of an outstanding supervisory agreement.
(B) If, in the opinion of the superintendent of credit unions, the corporation, director, officer, or employee is or has engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice, or has participated in or consented to a violation of this chapter or rules adopted thereunder, he may issue a summary order requiring the corporation, director, officer, or employee to cease and desist from such violation or practice.
If, in the opinion of the superintendent of insurance, the corporation, director, officer, or employee is or has engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice, or has participated in or consented to a violation of those chapters of Title XXXIX of the Revised Code specified in division (A) of section1761.04of the Revised Code or rules adopted thereunder, he may issue a summary order requiring the corporation, director, officer, or employee to cease and desist from such violation or practice.
The summary cease-and-desist order, which shall contain a statement of the facts allegedly constituting grounds for the order, shall be served upon the corporation, director, officer, or employee and becomes effective upon receipt. The summary order shall include notification of the time and place of a hearing, which shall be held in accordance with division (A)(2) of this section. Unless the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance issues a final cease-and-desist order within ten days after conclusion of the hearing, the summary order issued pursuant to this division is void. Otherwise, the summary order remains effective and enforceable until it is replaced by the final order, except to such extent as it is stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by action of the superintendent.
(C) The corporation, director, officer, or employee who is adversely affected by a final cease-and-desist order may appeal from the order to the court of common pleas in accordance with section119.12of the Revised Code.

A consent cease-and-desist order has the full force and effect of a final cease-and-desist order issued pursuant to division (A)(2) of this section and is enforceable in accordance with division (E) of this section. Any corporation, director, officer, or employee that fails to attend a hearing set pursuant to division (A) or (B) of this section is deemed to have consented to the issuance of a final cease-and-desist order.
(E) If the superintendent of credit unions or the superintendent of insurance has reasonable cause to believe that a lawful final or summary cease-and-desist order issued pursuant to this section has been violated, he may request the attorney general to commence and prosecute any appropriate action or proceeding. A court of competent jurisdiction shall enforce a lawful final order issued pursuant to this section and may grant such other relief as the facts warrant.
(F) Service on the corporation, director, officer, or employee as provided for in this section shall be by actual written notice or certified mail to the director, officer, or employee or, in the case of the corporation, to the managing officer of such corporation.
