Every temporary cease and desist order shall include findings of fact in support of the attorney general's determination that the public interest will be irreparably harmed by delay in issuing the order and a provision that upon request a hearing will be held within 10 business days of the deposit in the United States mails or delivery in hand of said order to determine whether or not it becomes permanent.
