Section 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.
