The principal office of the board shall be at the capitol, but the board may sit or hold hearings at any other place within the state. A majority of the board constitutes a quorum for making orders and decisions or transacting other official business, and the board may act even though one position on the board is vacant. The board shall keep a record of its proceedings. J. In conducting the business of the board: 1. The board may not act if more than one position is vacant. 2. One or more members or a hearing officer of the board may hold hearings and take testimony to be reported for action by the board when authorized by rule or order of the board.
