(3) If, after the issuance of an order allowing an individual to apply for a 24/7 sobriety program permit, the individual withdraws or is terminated from the 24/7 sobriety program, the court shall immediately issue an order revoking the 24/7 sobriety program permit and cause a copy of the order to be sent to the director.
