If the director finds from the administrative hearing that a violation has occurred, he shall so enter his findings and notify the parties to such complaint. The director may refer the matter to the Attorney General for the institution of legal proceedings or he may notify such parties to cease and desist from further violation.
Upon their refusal or failure to comply, or if he finds that the facts or circumstances warrant immediate prosecution, he shall file a complaint with the Attorney General or any district attorney which requests that such officer commence any action which is authorized in this chapter against such respondent in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in this article.
