§ 15702

(a) Any power granted to, or duty imposed on, the Franchise Tax Board by any provision of law may be exercised or performed by any officer or employee of the board authorized by the board unless it is expressly provided that the power or duty shall be exercised or performed only by the board itself.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if any person requests in writing to the executive officer or the Franchise Tax Board that a specific proposed regulation be considered by the board itself, then any authority delegated to any officer or employee of the board to adopt that regulation is rescinded.
