For the purpose of administration the director shall organize
the department subject to the approval of the Governor, in the manner
he deems necessary properly to segregate and conduct the work of the
department.  Notwithstanding any provision in this code to the
contrary, the director may require any division in the department to
assist in the enforcement of any or all laws within the jurisdiction
of the department.  Except as provided in Section 18930 of the Health
and Safety Code, the director may, in accordance with the provisions
of Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11371), Part 1, Division 3,
Title 2 of the Government Code, make rules and regulations that are
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter and
to effectuate its purposes.  The provisions of this section, however,
shall not apply to the Division of Workers' Compensation or the
State Compensation Insurance Fund, except as to any power or
jurisdiction within those divisions as may have been specifically
conferred upon the director by law.
