24. Upon entering an order temporarily suspending the license of any broker, the commission may also enter an order directing that some or all of the accounts maintained by the broker in any depository institution in the State be temporarily frozen. The commission shall serve copies of the order upon the institution either in person or by certified mail within ten days and, where a broker's trust or escrow account is frozen, upon all persons known to the commission for whom the broker was acting as escrow agent or trustee. In the event the commission subsequently determines that the suspension shall not be continued, it shall immediately notify the depository institution and other interested parties that the temporary freeze order is dissolved. If the commission orders that the license suspension shall continue for more than 30 days or that a license revocation shall be imposed, the commission shall, within 10 days of that ruling, make application to Superior Court for payment into the court of all funds in the accounts temporarily frozen by order of the commission. The commission shall provide notice of the application to the broker and all known interested parties. Following payment into court, the monies or any portion of them shall thereafter only be released upon court order obtained by the broker or other interested party, upon notice to the commission and in compliance with court rules.
