(a) If the Judges or Stewards determine that a licensee's actions constitute an immediate danger to the public health, safety or welfare or the health and safety of a horse, the Judges or Stewards may summarily suspend the license pending an emergency hearing.
(b) A licensee whose license has been summarily suspended is entitled to an emergency hearing on the summary suspension within 3 days after the license was summarily suspended. The licensee may waive the right to an emergency hearing on the summary suspension.
(c) The Judges or Stewards shall conduct the emergency hearing on the summary suspension in the same manner as other disciplinary hearings. At an emergency hearing on a summary suspension, the sole issue is whether the person's license should remain suspended pending a final disciplinary hearing and ruling.
