Public Act 103-0287 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Universities Civil Service Act is | ||||
amended by changing Section 36f as follows:
| ||||
(110 ILCS 70/36f) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b5)
| ||||
Sec. 36f. Examinations. | ||||
(a) All examinations given under the University System | ||||
shall be open to
all applicants who are citizens of or | ||||
residents in the State of Illinois
and who can qualify by | ||||
training and experience for the position for
which application | ||||
is made. In examinations for technical positions for
which no | ||||
qualified residents of this State are available the residence
| ||||
requirement may be waived. In examinations for law enforcement | ||||
personnel, the residence requirement shall be waived. | ||||
(b) Examinations may be written; oral; by statement of | ||||
training and experience; in the form of tests of knowledge, | ||||
skill, capacity, intellect, or aptitude; or by any other | ||||
method which, in the judgment of the Merit Board, is | ||||
reasonable and practical for any particular classification. | ||||
The examinations shall be practical and shall
relate to the | ||||
classification for which the examination is given. No
question | ||||
in any examination shall relate to political or religious
|
affiliation or racial origins of the examinee.
| ||
(c) Different examining procedures may be determined for | ||
the examinations in different classifications, but all | ||
examinations in the same classification must be uniform. The | ||
examination requirement for the initial appointment, entry | ||
level position only, of law enforcement personnel may be | ||
waived if an applicant has satisfied all the requirements | ||
established by the Illinois Police Training Act for | ||
appointment of law enforcement officers and if the Merit Board | ||
allows for such a waiver by rule. Additional positions, entry | ||
level only, may have the examination requirement waived if the | ||
occupational standards are regulated by the Department of | ||
Financial and Professional Regulation, as designated by the | ||
Merit Board and provided for in adopted rules. | ||
