         4.  The members of the board shall select a chairperson, vice
      chairperson, and secretary from their membership.  However, neither

      the board shall conduct a comprehensive review of existing boiler
      rules, regulations, and standards, including but not limited to those
      relating to potable hot water supply boilers and water heaters.
         8.  The board shall establish fees for examinations, inspections,
