Definition: Emergency suspension of a license when the statutory standard of immediate serious danger to public health, safety, or welfare is met, using a fair emergency procedure.
Example
An agency takes emergency action supported by findings that continued practice presents an immediate serious danger.
Keep the distinction clear
This is not the routine final penalty after a completed disciplinary hearing. Emergency action must meet legal safeguards and be followed by the required proceedings.
