(2) The attorney general may suspend the license of a professional fund raiser or the registration of a charitable organization or professional solicitor, on an emergency basis without a hearing, if the attorney general issues a notice of emergency suspension containing both of the following:
(a) A description of the conduct in violation of this act or a rule promulgated under this act that constitutes the emergency.
