    No college in the state shall advertise or use any signs or terms to
indicate that the college is approved, recognized, accredited, certified, or
licensed unless said college is licensed by the board. Every college shall
advertise as a college and make known to the public and customers that the
work is being done by students.
    All instructors in an approved college must be licensed in the state of
Idaho as a barber instructor or a cosmetology instructor.
    Every instructor in an Idaho licensed college shall devote his or her

not apply his time to that of private or public practice during the school or
class hours.
    A college furnishing satisfactory evidence that it is maintaining the
requirements set forth in this chapter, within the state, shall, upon the
payment of the required fee, be issued a license by the board.
    A license issued to a college must be renewed annually. Should a college
fail or refuse to renew a license said college shall cease to operate, and be
removed from the list of the approved colleges.
    The board may cancel or refuse to renew a license issued to a college upon
proof that said college has failed or refused to meet with the requirements
for approved colleges set forth in this chapter.
    One (1) instructor must be employed to each fifteen (15) students or
fractional part thereof and one (1) barber instructor must be employed on a

in a form approved by the board, and provide a copy of the bond annually
together with the application for school license renewal. The bond shall be
executed by a corporate surety company duly authorized to do business in this
state, conditioned that such school or college shall continue to give its
courses of instruction, in accordance with the provision of this chapter,
until it has completed all such courses for which students have enrolled, and
conditioned that such school or college shall fully comply with all promises
or representations made to enrolled students as an inducement to such students
to enroll. Any student so enrolled who may be damaged by reason of the failure
of such school or college to comply with such conditions, shall have a right
of action in his or her own name, on such bonds, for such damage.
