39-3-212. Court enforcement of administrative decision. (1) A department default order, a decision of the hearings officer, if the decision is not appealed to the board, or a decision of the board, if judicial review is not sought, may be enforced by application by the commissioner to a district court for an order or judgment enforcing the decision. The commissioner shall apply to the district court where the employer has its principal place of business or in the first judicial district of the state. A proceeding under this section is not a review of the validity of the administrative decision.
     (2) If judicial review is sought, the district court may issue an order or a judgment enforcing the decision of the board in a wage claim proceeding. In a case involving failure to pay the standard prevailing rate of wages provided for in Title 18, chapter 2, part 4, the district court may issue an order or a judgment enforcing the decision of the hearings officer.
