(a) The council or a three-member committee of council members designated by the council shall temporarily suspend the license of a person licensed under this chapter if the council or committee determines from the evidence or information presented to it that continued practice by the person would constitute a continuing and imminent threat to the public welfare.
(b) A license may be suspended under this section without notice or hearing on the complaint if:
(1) action is taken to initiate proceedings for a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings simultaneously with the temporary suspension; and
(2) a hearing is held as soon as practicable under this chapter and Chapter 2001, Government Code.
(c) The State Office of Administrative Hearings shall hold a preliminary hearing not later than the 14th day after the date of the temporary suspension to determine if there is probable cause to believe that a continuing and imminent threat to the public welfare still exists. A final hearing on the matter shall be held not later than the 61st day after the date of the temporary suspension.
