GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 15770-15771

15770. There is in the state government the State Public Works
Board. The board consists of the Director of Finance, the Director of
Transportation, and the Director of General Services. For the
purpose of hearing and deciding upon matters related to the issuance
of revenue bonds pursuant to the State Building Construction Act of
1955 (Part 10b (commencing with Section 15800)), or any other law
authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds, the Treasurer and the
Controller shall be members of the board. Three Members of the
Senate, appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, and three Members
of the Assembly, appointed by the Speaker, shall meet with and
participate in the work of the board to the extent that such
participation is not incompatible with their positions as Members of
the Legislature. The appointed Members of the Legislature constitute
a legislative interim committee on the subject of this part with all
the powers and duties imposed upon such committees by the Joint Rules
of the Legislature.
The amendments made to this section at the 1981-82 Regular Session
of the Legislature shall become operative on January 1, 1983.

15770.1. The Director of the Employment Development Department
shall meet with and advise the board whenever the board is engaged in
activities imposed by Section 15799.2.

15770.2. (a) The Director of Finance may designate a deputy or
other official in the Department of Finance to act for him or her and
represent him or her at meetings of the board.
(b) The Director of Finance or his or her representative shall
serve as chairperson of the board.
(c) The board may, by resolution, delegate to one or more of its
members, or to any other official or employee of the board, any
powers and duties that it may deem proper, including, but not limited
to, the power to enter into contracts on behalf of the board.

15770.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Director
of Transportation and the Director of General Services may appoint a
deputy or assistant director in their respective departments to act
in their place on the board, irrespective of whether the deputy or
assistant director holds a position specified in subdivision (g) of
Section 4 of Article VII of the California Constitution, and
irrespective of whether there is to be more than one person
representing a director at a meeting of the board. While serving on
the board, the representative shall have all the powers of the
director he or she is representing, including the right to be counted
in a quorum, to participate in the proceedings of the board, and to
vote on all matters. The director shall be responsible for the
representative's acts to the same extent that the director is
responsible for the deputy or assistant director's acts when
performing his or her official duties.

15771. The members of the board and of the interim committee shall
receive no compensation for their services under this part, but shall
be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of their duties prescribed by this
part, to be paid out of the money made available to the director for
that purpose.
