    54-521.  BOARD OF BARBER EXAMINERS -- POWERS AND DUTIES -- DESIGNATION OF
PERSONS TO REPORT TO BOARD. There is hereby created, and established in the
department of self-governing agencies, the board of barber examiners. The
board may, by written agreement, authorize the bureau of occupational licenses
as agent to act in its interest (in this chapter referred to as the board) and
in addition to the powers herein elsewhere conferred, shall have the following
powers and it shall be the duty of the board:
    (1)  To conduct examinations to ascertain the qualifications and fitness
of applicants for licenses hereunder and to pass upon the qualifications of
all applicants for licenses.
    (2)  To conduct hearings and proceedings in accordance with the provisions
of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, to revoke licenses  issued under this
chapter and to revoke such licenses subject to the provisions of this chapter.
    (3)  To designate what schools of barbering within and without the state
are approved schools, and from time to time, to change such designations and
to keep public records thereof.
    (4)  To prescribe rules in accordance with the provisions of chapter 52,
title 67, Idaho Code, for a fair and wholly impartial method of examination of
applicants for licenses hereunder and, subject to the provisions of chapter
52, title 67, Idaho Code, for conducting hearings for the revocation of
licenses, defining the qualifications of an approved school of barbering and
for the administration of this chapter in general.
    Excepting the regulation of schools under section 54-507, Idaho Code,
hereof,  and the issuance of licenses under section 54-513, Idaho Code, none
of the powers and duties specified in subsections (1) through (4) of this
section, shall be exercised by the said bureau except on the action of the
board of barber examiners. When vacancies occur on said board, the governor
shall appoint new members, but not more than a total of three (3) members,
each of whom shall be a registered barber, and shall have been a resident of,
and lawfully practicing barbering within the state of Idaho for a period of at
least five (5) years next before his appointment, and who is neither directly
nor indirectly in any way connected with or interested in the barber supply
business nor in any institution offering instruction in barbering. In
appointing the members of such board the governor shall give consideration to
all nominations. The board and all assistants shall be compensated as provided
by section 59-509(h), Idaho Code.
    The regular term of office of a member of the board shall begin as of the
first Monday of July of the year in which he is appointed and shall continue
for three (3) years thereafter. A member appointed to fill a vacancy
occasioned otherwise than by expiration of a term shall serve the unexpired
term of his predecessor.
    A vacancy in membership in the board shall occur, and be declared by the
governor, whenever the regular term of a member expires, or whenever a member
dies, resigns, or is found by the governor to be mentally or physically
incapable of acting, or to be neglecting or refusing to act, or to cease to
have the qualifications of a member, or to have acquired disqualifications of
a member, or to have been absent without reasonable cause from two (2)
successive meetings of the board.
    The board of barber examiners shall select from its members a chairman,
vice chairman, and secretary who shall serve at the pleasure of the board.
    The action and report in writing of the board so designated shall be
sufficient authority upon which the bureau may act.
    Whenever the board is satisfied that substantial justice has not been
done, either in examination or in revocation of a license or otherwise, it may
order a reexamination or rehearing of the matter.
