    5  this chapter. Notwithstanding any other provision under part II
    6  of this chapter, the department is the sole enforcement entity
    7  for violations and remedies under this section.
    8         (9) As a prerequisite to any action available under this
    9  section, the department must provide written notice of the
   10  alleged violation to the person or entity that issued the
   11  advertisement. The person or entity that issued the
   12  advertisement has 15 days after receipt of the notice to cure
   13  the violation or discontinue publishing the advertisement. If
   14  the person or entity that issued the advertisement cures the
   15  violation or discontinues publication of the advertisement
   16  within this 15-day period, an action against such person or
   17  entity may not arise from the noticed violation.
   18         (10) This section may not be construed to create a private
   19  right of action.
