In addition thereto, the board shall have power:
(a)To supervise and regulate the barbering industry in this state. Nothing contained in this act shall be construed to abrogate, affect the status, force or operation of any provision of the general laws of this state relating to public health or any lawful rule, regulation or order promulgated thereunder, the law regulating the practice of barbering or any local health ordinance or regulation.
(b)To investigate all matters pertaining to the proper supervision and control of barber shops and the practice of barbering in this state.
(c)To subpoena barber shop owners, operators, managers or employees, their books and accounts, and other persons from whom such information may be desired, to carry out the purposes and intent of this act, and may issue commissions to take depositions from witnesses absent from the state. Any member of the board may sign and issue subpoenas and administer oaths to witnesses.
(d)To act as mediator and arbitrator in any controversy or issue that may arise among or between barbers as individuals or that may arise between them as groups. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing any interference with the authority of the state department of labor or the United States department of labor.
The operation and effect of any provisions of this act which confer a general power upon the board shall not be impaired or qualified because a specific power has been granted to the board by this act.
(e)To issue a cease and desist order against any individual, operator or licensee if the board determines that such individual, operator or licensee has practiced without a valid license or engaged or attempted to engage in any act or practice in violation of article 18 of chapter 65 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, or rules and regulations adopted thereunder.
(f)To make an application to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order enjoining any person who has engaged or attempted to engage in any act or practice in violation of article 18 of chapter 65 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, or rules and regulations adopted thereunder. Upon a showing by the board that such person has engaged or attempted to engage in any such act or practice, an injunction, restraining order or such other order as may be appropriate shall be granted by such court without bond.
