(2) An emergency order issued under this section becomes effective when signed by the director. Upon entry of an emergency order, the director shall promptly notify the affected person that such order has been entered, the reasons for such order, and the right to request an emergency hearing. (3) A party aggrieved by an emergency order issued by the director under this section may request an emergency hearing. The request for hearing shall be filed with the director within ten business days after the date of the emergency order. (4) Upon receipt of a written request for emergency hearing, the director shall conduct an emergency hearing within ten business days after the date of receipt of the request for hearing unless the parties agree to a later date or a hearing officer sets a later date for good cause shown. (5) A person aggrieved by an emergency order of the director may obtain judicial review of the order in the manner prescribed in the Administrative Procedure Act and the rules and regulations adopted and promulgated by the department. (6) The director may obtain an order from the district court of Lancaster County for the enforcement of the emergency order. (7) The director may vacate or modify an emergency order if he or she finds that the conditions which caused its entry have changed or that it is otherwise in the public interest to do so. (8) If an emergency hearing has not been requested pursuant to subsection (3) of this section and the emergency order remains in effect sixty days after issuance, the director shall initiate proceedings pursuant to section 45-742 unless the license was surrendered or expired during the sixty-day time period after issuance of the emergency order. (9) An emergency order issued under this section shall remain in effect until it is vacated, modified, or superseded by an order of the director, superseded by a voluntary consent or compliance agreement between the director and the licensee, or until it is terminated by a court order.
