At the hearing, the board shall receive evidence limited to determining whether the emergency action order shall continue in effect pending the final disposition of the complaint. Following such hearing, any continuing suspension or non-renewal imposed by a board shall remain in effect until the conclusion of any formal proceeding on the merits of the allegations against the holder, including judicial review thereof, or until withdrawn by such board.

If the individual fails or refuses to comply with an order by the board for such examination, and upon reasonable notice to the holder, the board may apply to the superior court for an order compelling the holder to submit to an examination. If the board's application is granted, the court may, after opportunity for hearing, require the individual to pay to the board its reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the order, including attorney's fees, unless the court finds an award of expenses unjust. The holder's failure to comply with a court order issued under this section shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action by the board, including but not limited to the sanctions listed in section 61. The report of the examiners shall be made available to the holder and may be received as direct evidence in formal adjudicatory proceedings; said report shall remain confidential except to the extent it is disclosed in such proceedings."
