 33        with the requirements of such standards;
 34        (f)  Conduct a continuing study  and  investigation  of  residential  care
 35        facility  administrators  to  improve  the  standards  imposed in order to

 37        the enforcement of such standards with respect to those who have  obtained
 38        a license or a permit;
 39        (g)  The  board  shall  establish by rule a fee schedule not to exceed one
 40        two hundred dollars ($1200) each for  applications  for  licenses,  provi-

                                       2
                                                                        
  1    designated  by  such  board, acting in an official capacity, shall have powers
  2    and duties as provided by law. Such board shall not be  bound  by  the  strict
  3    rules  of  evidence  in  the conduct of its proceedings but any determinations
  4    made shall be founded upon sufficient legal evidence to sustain them.
  5        (3)  The board shall also have the authority to make rules  not  inconsis-
  6    tent with law as may be necessary for the proper performance of its duties.
