after notice and hearing, a professional licensing board may issue a
cease and desist order prohibiting any person from violating the
provisions of this title by engaging in the practice of a business
or profession without a license. (b) The violation of any cease and desist order of a professional

before the board, and the board shall be authorized to impose a fine
not to exceed $500.00 for each transaction constituting a violation
thereof. Each day that a person practices in violation of this title
shall constitute a separate violation. (c) Initial judicial review of the decision of the board entered
