 44    done, either in examination or in revocation of a license or otherwise, it may
 45    order a reexamination or rehearing of the matter.

 51        SECTION  16.  That  Section 54-528, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby

 15    required  fee  and  proof  of  having  met  the  continued education as may be
 16    required by board rule.

 21    tion or license may seek judicial review thereof in accordance with the provi-
 22    sions of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                            RS 10480
    
The change from certificate to license would correspond with the board
practice of issuing licenses and not certificates. By adding "safeguard 
the public health, safety, and welfare" language, the purpose of 
licensure will be clearly specified in the statute. By offering both
a Barber-Stylist and Barber license, those persons wishing to practice 
"pure barbering" (without chemicals i.e. permanent waves, coloring, 
straightening, etc.) will be able to obtain a Barber license for that 
purpose.  Those who include the chemical work in their practice will
be issued a Barber-Stylist license. Deletion of references concerning
a schools hours, days, and months, or training and operation will allow 
schools to offer training programs at times more compatible for non-
traditional students. Clarifies what constitutes failure of an exam, and
the re-qualification requirements. Allows the board to withhold a license 
if payment of a student loan is not made. Allows the board the discretion 
to apply discipline other than the suspension or revocation of a license. 
This action is taken at the Deputy AG's suggestion which will allow the 
board to enter into consent agreements with licensees to assess fines and
recover costs rather than being forced to go through the hearing process
(which is more costly to both the board and the licensee; typically $5 - 
$50 thousand). Revises the language concerning a misdemeanor conviction 
and define the operation of an unlicensed facility as a misdemeanor. 
Increase the board's honorarium from $35.00 to $50.00.
      
    
                                 
                         FISCAL IMPACT
                                   
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund. The increase in the board's
honorarium is $135.00 per year in dedicated funds.
