A hearing shall be held by the board no later than 10 days after the date of such order. The board shall also simultaneously institute proceedings for revocation, suspension, or limitation of the license of the crematory authority.

III. A temporary suspension or temporary limitation order by the board under this section shall take effect when served upon the crematory authority and shall not exceed 90 days. If further action is not taken by the board within such period, the temporary suspension or temporary limitation shall expire.
