(b) When seeking a temporary or summary order, the Division shall support the request with evidence including at least one sworn affidavit or its equivalent to support the order.

(c) The Administrator (or an appointed hearing officer, or an assigned administrative law judge), upon findings and conclusions that the evidentiary showing by the Division supports the request, may issue a temporary cease and desist order or summary order suspending, denying, postponing or taking any other action as permitted by applicable law against any license, registration or exemption.
