(b) The secretary or a duly authorized representative of the secretary, acting as the enforcing officer, may issue and enforce a written or printed stop sale order to the owner or custodian of any quantity of any commercial fertilizer which the secretary or duly authorized representative determines is not registered, is not labeled as required, is misbranded or bears a false or misleading statement on the application for registration, the label or the accompanying advertising in violation of the provisions of the statutes contained in article 12 of chapter 2 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated and amendments thereto, or any rules and regulations adopted thereunder. The stop sale order shall prohibit further sale and movement of such commercial fertilizer, except on approval of the enforcing officer, until the enforcing officer has evidence that the law and rules and regulations have been complied with and issues a release from the stop sale order. Any stop sale order issued pursuant to this subsection is subject to review in accordance with the act for judicial review and civil enforcement of agency actions. The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed as limiting the right of the enforcement officer to proceed as authorized by other provisions of the statutes contained in article 12 of chapter 2 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated and amendments thereto.
