    (1) There is created a state advisory board of plumbers, to be composed of three members appointed by the governor.  One member shall be a journeyman plumber, one member shall be a person conducting a plumbing business, and one member from the general public who is familiar with the business and trade of plumbing.

    (3) The advisory board shall carry out all the functions and duties enumerated in this chapter, as well as generally advise the department on all matters relative to this chapter.
