Before issuing a temporary cease and desist order, the secretary of state, when possible by telephone or otherwise, shall notify the person, the driver education provider, or the driver education instructor of the secretary of state's intention to issue a temporary cease and desist order. A temporary cease and desist order shall include in its terms a provision stating that upon request a hearing shall be held within 30 days to determine whether or not the order shall become permanent.
