(3)If judicial relief is sought for a stay or other temporary remedy from agency action based on public health, safety, or welfare grounds the court shall not grant such relief unless the court finds that:
(a)The applicant is likely to prevail when the court finally disposes of the matter;
(b)Without relief the applicant will suffer irreparable injury;
(c)The grant of relief to the applicant will not substantially harm other parties to the proceedings; and
(d)The threat to the public health, safety, or welfare is not sufficiently serious to justify the agency action in the circumstances.
