544A.1  Practice regulated — creation of architectural examining board.
  The practice of architecture affects the public health, safety, and welfare and is subject to regulation and control in the public interest. Only persons qualified by the laws of the state are authorized to engage in the practice of architecture in the state.
  The architectural examining board is created within the professional licensing and regulation bureau of the banking division of the department of commerce. The board consists of five members who possess a certificate of registration issued under section 544A.9 and who have been in active practice of architecture for not less than five years, the last two of which shall have been in Iowa, and two members who do not possess a certificate of registration issued under section 544A.9 and who shall represent the general public. Members shall be appointed by the governor subject to confirmation by the senate.
  Professional associations or societies composed of registered architects may recommend the names of potential board members to the governor but the governor is not bound by the recommendations. A board member is not required to be a member of any professional association or society composed of registered architects. Appointments shall be for three-year terms and shall commence and end as provided in section 69.19. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment of the governor and shall require senate confirmation. Members shall serve no more than three terms or nine years, whichever is less.
