If, in the opinion of the commissioner, the offer of any franchise is subject to registration under this law and it is being, or it has been, offered for sale without the offer first being registered, the commissioner may order the franchisor or offeror of that franchise to desist and refrain from the further offer or sale of that franchise unless and until the offer has been duly registered under this law. If, after that order has been made, a request for a hearing is filed in writing within 60 days from the date of service of the order by the person to whom the order was directed, a hearing shall be held in accordance with Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and the commissioner shall have all of the powers granted under that chapter. Unless that hearing is commenced within 15 business days after the request is made (or the person affected consents to a later date), the order shall be deemed rescinded.
If that person fails to file a written request for a hearing within 60 days from the date of service of the order, the order shall be deemed a final order of the commissioner and shall not be subject to review by any court or agency, notwithstanding Section 31501.
