3. An emergency order may be issued only with the approval of and upon signature by not less than three members of the Commission.
4. The emergency order is effective immediately upon issuance and service upon the licensee or registered agent of the licensee or, in cases involving registrations, findings of suitability, pari-mutuel licenses or any prior approval, upon issuance and service upon the person or entity involved or registered agent of the entity involved. The emergency order may suspend, limit, condition or take other action in relation to the license of one or more persons in an operation without affecting other individual licensees or the licensed gaming establishment. The emergency order remains effective until further order of the Commission or final disposition of the case.

If any person in proceedings before the Commission disobeys or resists any lawful order or refuses to respond to a subpoena, or refuses to take the oath or affirmation as a witness or thereafter refuses to be examined, or is guilty of misconduct during the hearing or so near the place thereof as to obstruct the proceeding, the Commission may certify the facts to the district court in and for the county where the proceedings are held.

Upon rehearing, rebuttal evidence to the additional evidence must be permitted. After rehearing, the Commission may modify its decision and order as the additional evidence may warrant.
