. The appeals board may employ necessary assistants, officers,
experts, hearing officers, and such other employees as it deems
necessary. All such personnel of the appeals board shall be under the
supervision of the chairman of the appeals board or an executive
officer to whom the chairman delegates such responsibility. All such
personnel shall be appointed pursuant to the State Civil Service Act
(Part 2 (commencing with Section 18500) of Division 5 of Title 2 of
the Government Code), except for the one exempt deputy or employee
allowed by subdivision (e) of Section 4 of Article XXIV of the
California Constitution. The salaries of the hearing officers shall
be fixed by the State Personnel Board at a rate comparable to that of
other referees or hearing officers in state service whose duties and
responsibilities are comparable, without regard to whether such
other positions have membership in the State Bar of California as a
prerequisite to appointment.
