| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||
changing Sections 10-1-16 and 10-2.1-8 as follows:
| ||||
(65 ILCS 5/10-1-16) (from Ch. 24, par. 10-1-16)
| ||||
Sec. 10-1-16. Veteran's preference. Persons who were | ||||
engaged in the active military or naval service of
the United | ||||
States for a period of at least one year and who were honorably | ||||
discharged
therefrom and all persons who were engaged in such | ||||
military or naval
service who are now or may hereafter be on
| ||||
inactive or reserve duty in such military or naval service, not | ||||
including,
however, persons who were convicted by | ||||
court-martial of disobedience of
orders, where such | ||||
disobedience consisted in the refusal to perform
military | ||||
service on the ground of alleged religious or conscientious
| ||||
objections against war, shall be preferred for appointments to | ||||
civil
offices, positions, and places of employment in the | ||||
classified service of
any municipality coming under the | ||||
provisions of this Division 1, provided
they are found to | ||||
possess the business capacity necessary for the proper
| ||||
discharge of the duties of such office, position, or place of | ||||
employment as
determined by examination. For purposes of this | ||||
Section, if a person has been deployed, then "active duty | ||
military or naval service of the United States" includes | ||
training and service school attendance, as defined in 10 U.S.C. | ||
101(d), which is ordered pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 12301(d). | ||
The civil service commission shall give preference points | ||
for original appointment to qualified veterans whose names | ||
appear on any register of eligibles resulting from an | ||
examination for original entrance in the classified service of | ||
any municipality coming under the provisions of this Division 1 | ||
by adding to the final grade average that they receive or will | ||
receive as the result of any examination held for original | ||
entrance, 5 points. The numerical result thus attained shall be | ||
applied by the civil service commission in determining the | ||
position of those persons on any eligibility list that has been | ||
created as the result of any examination for original entrance | ||
for purposes of preference in certification and appointment | ||
from that eligibility list. Persons who were engaged in the | ||
active military or naval service of the United States for a | ||
period of at least one year and who were honorably discharged | ||
therefrom or who are now
or who may hereafter be on inactive or | ||
reserve duty in such military or
naval service, not including, | ||
however, persons who were convicted by court
martial of | ||
disobedience of orders where such disobedience consisted in the
| ||
refusal to perform military service on the ground of alleged | ||
religious or
conscientious objections against war, and whose | ||
names appear on existing
promotional eligible registers or any | ||
promotional eligible register that
may hereafter be created, as | ||
provided for by this Division 1, shall be
preferred for | ||
promotional appointment to civil offices, positions and
places | ||
of employment in the classified civil service of any | ||
municipality
coming under the provisions of this Division 1.
| ||
The civil service commission shall give preference for | ||
promotional
appointment to persons as hereinabove designated | ||
whose names appear on
existing promotional eligible registers | ||
or promotional eligible registers
that may hereafter be created | ||
by adding to the final grade average which
they received or | ||
will receive as the result of any promotional examination
| ||
seven-tenths of one point for each 6 months or fraction
thereof | ||
of active military or naval service not exceeding 30 months. | ||
The numerical
result thus attained shall be applied by the | ||
civil service commission in
determining the position of such | ||
persons on any eligible list which has
been created or will be | ||
created as the result of any promotional
examination held | ||
hereunder for purposes of preference in certification and
| ||
appointment from such eligible list.
| ||
No person shall receive the preference for a promotional | ||
appointment
granted by this Section after he or she has | ||
received one promotion from an
eligible list on which he or she | ||
was allowed such preference.
| ||
No person entitled to preference or credit for military or | ||
naval service
hereunder shall be required to furnish evidence | ||
or record of honorable
discharge from the armed forces before | ||
the publication or posting of any
eligible register or list | ||
resulting from the examination. Such preference
shall be given | ||
after the posting or publication of any eligible list or
| ||
register resulting from such examination and before any | ||
certifications or
appointments are made from such list or | ||
register.
