The provisions of this part governing the examination, selection, classification, and tenure of employees in the regular civil service shall not apply to “career executive assignments” unless provided for by State Personnel Board rule. The provisions of this part relating to punitive actions shall apply to all employees serving in career executive assignments, except that termination of a career executive assignment as provided for in Section 19889.3 is not a punitive action.
