      (3) The Division may immediately suspend, without notice or opportunity to be heard, an electronic data system's or an EDS user's access to the database, if the Division determines by audit or other means that such access may lead to a violation of Section 58-37f-601 or may otherwise compromise the integrity, privacy, or security of the database's opioid prescription information.
