 21    annually  together  with  the application for school license renewal. The bond
 22    shall be executed by a corporate surety company duly authorized to do business
 23    in this state, conditioned that such school or college shall continue to  give
 24    its  courses of instruction, in accordance with the provision of this chapter,
 25    until it has completed all such courses for which students have enrolled,  and
 26    conditioned  that  such school or college shall fully comply with all promises
 27    or representations made to enrolled students as an inducement to such students

 29    of such school or college to comply with such conditions, shall have  a  right
 30    of action in his or her own name, on such bonds, for such damage.

 22        A vacancy in membership in the board shall occur, and be declared  by  the
 23    governor,  whenever the regular term of a member expires, or whenever a member
 24    dies, resigns, or is found by the governor to be mentally or physically  inca-
 25    pable  of  acting, or to be neglecting or refusing to act, or to cease to have
 26    the qualifications of a member, or to have  acquired  disqualifications  of  a
 27    member,  or  to have been absent without reasonable cause from two (2) succes-

 35    order a reexamination or rehearing of the matter.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 15010

This legislation amends section 54-507, Idaho Code, to clarify
the requirements for barber colleges to allow consideration of
training obtained outside of Idaho.  Amend section 54-521, Idaho
Code, to allow consideration of all nominations for appointment
to the Board, as the barber association is no longer active.


                           FISCAL NOTE

There is no fiscal impact on general or dedicated funds.
