The administrative hearing commission shall conduct a preliminary hearing within fifteen days after service of a complaint pursuant to subsection 1 of this section, to determine whether the alleged activities appear to constitute a clear and present danger to the public health, safety or welfare which justifies that the person's license be immediately restricted or suspended. The administrative hearing commission shall issue its decision immediately after the hearing and either grant the board the authority to suspend or restrict the license or dismiss the action.
