The secretary may require the commission to correct or cease any existing or proposed activity or function that is determined by the secretary to be in violation of this chapter or not to be in the public interest. If the commission refuses or fails to cease those activities or functions or to make corrections as required by the secretary, the secretary may, upon written notice, suspend all or a portion of the activities and functions of the commission until such time that the cessation or correction of activities or functions as required by the secretary has been accomplished by the commission. Actions of the commission in violation of the written notice shall be without legal force or effect. The secretary, to the extent feasible, shall issue the written notice prior to the commission entering into any contractual relationship affecting the existing or proposed activities or functions that are the subject of the written notice. Upon service of the written notice, the secretary shall notify the commission, in writing, of the specific acts that the secretary determines are not in the public interest or are in violation of this chapter, the secretary’s reasons for requiring a cessation or correction of specific existing or proposed activities or functions, and the secretary may make recommendations that will make those activities or functions acceptable.
