COMPENSATION. (1) The board of architectural examiners is hereby created in
the department of self-governing agencies. The board of architectural
examiners shall consist of six (6) members, to be appointed by the governor,
each of whom shall be an architect, and shall have been a resident of and a
lawfully practicing architect within the state of Idaho for a period of at
least five (5) years next before his appointment. At all times the board shall
have at least one (1) member who is engaged primarily in professional
architectural education.
    (2)  The board shall have, in addition to the powers conferred elsewhere
in this chapter, the following powers and duties:
    (a)  To authorize, by written agreement, the bureau of occupational
    licenses to act as its agent in its interest.
    (b)  To adopt, pursuant to the administrative procedure act, such rules as
    the board, in its discretion, deems necessary for the administration and
    enforcement of this chapter.
    (c)  To conduct investigations into violations of this chapter.
    (d)  The board, or its duly appointed hearing officer, shall have the
    power in any disciplinary proceeding under this chapter, to administer
    oaths, take depositions of witnesses within or without the state in the
    manner provided by law in civil cases, and may apply to any district court
    of this state for a subpoena to require the attendance of such witnesses
    and the production of such books, records, and papers as it deems
    necessary. The fees and mileage of the witnesses shall be the same as that
    allowed in the district courts in criminal cases, which fees and mileage
    shall be paid in the same manner as other expenses of the board are paid.
    In any case of disobedience to, or neglect of, any subpoena or subpoena
    duces tecum served upon any person, or the refusal of any witness to
    testify to any matter regarding which he may lawfully be interrogated, it
    shall be the duty of any district court in this state on application by
    the board to compel compliance with the subpoena by proceedings for
    contempt, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of a subpoena
    issued from such court or for refusal to testify therein. The licensed
    person accused in such proceedings shall have the same right of subpoena.
    (e)  To adopt rules requiring annual continuing education as a condition
    for the renewal of licenses issued under this chapter.
    (3)  Each member of the board of architectural examiners shall be
compensated as provided by section 59-509(i), Idaho Code.
