(1) action is taken to initiate proceedings for a hearing before the advisory board simultaneously with the temporary suspension; and
(2) a hearing is held as soon as practicable under this chapter and Chapter 2001, Government Code.
(c) Notwithstanding Chapter 551, Government Code, the disciplinary panel may hold a meeting by telephone conference call if immediate action is required and convening of the panel at one location is inconvenient for any member of the panel.
