read:
   620.  (a) The department succeeds to and is vested with all
duties, responsibilities, powers, jurisdiction, liabilities, and
functions of the California Integrated Waste Management Board, which

civil service, other than as temporary employees, shall be
transferred to the Department of Conservation pursuant to Section
19050.9 of the Government Code. The status, position, and rights of
any employee of the board shall not be affected by the transfer and
shall be retained by the person as an employee of the department, as
the case may be, pursuant to the State Civil Service Act (Part 2
(commencing with Section 18500) of Division 5 of Title 2 of the
Government Code), except as to a position that is exempt from civil
service.
   (2) The members of the California Integrated Waste Management

which function, right, or duty is transferred by this section, shall
be transferred to the Department of Conservation, which is to
administer the function, exercise the right, or perform the duty.
