                             BOARD OF CEMETERIANS
    54-3801.  BOARD OF CEMETERIANS. There is hereby established in the
department of self-governing agencies a state board of cemeterians to be
composed of three (3) members appointed by the governor in the manner
hereinafter set forth. Each member of the board shall be a cemeterian and
resident of the state of Idaho for a period of at least five (5) years next
preceding his appointment, during which time he shall have been continuously
engaged in the cemetery business. No person shall be eligible for appointment
to the board of cemeterians who is financially interested, directly, or
indirectly, in any embalming college, wholesale funeral supply business, or
casket manufacturing business.
    The governor shall appoint the members of the board from a list of
qualified cemeterians of triple the number of persons to be appointed, who
shall be proposed and submitted to him by the Idaho cemetery association,
inc., or other statewide organization or association of cemeterians whose
membership is composed of a majority of all cemeterians of the state.
    All members of the board of cemeterians shall be appointed to serve for a
term of three (3) years, to expire on May 1 of the year of termination of
their term, and until their successors have been appointed and qualified;
provided, however, the governor is hereby granted the power to alter the term
of office of the members of the board first appointed hereunder so that the
term of office of not more than one (1) member of the board shall terminate in
any one (1) year. In case of a vacancy occurring on said board of cemeterians
by reason of the death of any member, or his resignation, incapacity, neglect
or refusal to act, or in any other way, the governor shall appoint a qualified
member for the remainder of the unexpired term of the vacant office from a
list of duly qualified cemeterians prepared and submitted in the manner
prescribed herein for the initial appointment of members to the board. Any
member of the board of cemeterians who willfully fails to properly discharge
his duties may be removed by the governor.
    The board shall meet, not less than annually, to elect a chairman, vice
chairman, and secretary and take official board action on pending matters by
majority vote of all the members of the board of cemeterians, and in doing so
a majority of the members of said board shall at all times constitute a
quorum. Notice of any meeting shall be given by the chairman to all members of
the board at least ten (10) days in advance of each meeting unless such
notice is waived in writing by all of the members of the board.
    Each member of the board of cemeterians shall be compensated as provided
by section 59-509(g), Idaho Code.
