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 the board’s interest. In addition to the powers otherwise conferred by this chapter, it shall be the duty of the board:
(1) To conduct or approve 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, and the issuance of licenses under section 54-511, Idaho Code, none of the powers and duties specified in subsections (1) through (4) of this section, shall be exercised by the bureau except on the action of the board of barber examiners. When vacancies occur on the board, the governor shall appoint new members who shall serve at the pleasure of the governor, but not more than a total of three (3) members, two (2) of whom shall be registered barbers, and shall have been residents of, and lawfully practicing barbering within the state of Idaho for a period of at least five (5) years next before their appointment, and who are neither directly nor indirectly in any way connected with or interested in the barber supply business nor in any institution offering instruction in barbering and one (1) of whom shall be a member of the public with an interest in the rights of consumers of barber services. In appointing the members of the board the governor shall give consideration to all nominations. The board and all assistants shall be compensated as provided by section 59-509(n), 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, or is removed.
The board of barber examiners shall select from its members a chairman and vice chairman 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.
