|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The State Universities Civil Service Act is |
| 5 | | amended by changing Section 36f as follows:
|
| 6 | | (110 ILCS 70/36f) (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b5) |
| 7 | | Sec. 36f. Examinations. |
| 8 | | (a) All examinations given under the University System |
| 9 | | shall be open to all applicants who are citizens of or |
| 10 | | residents in the State of Illinois and who can qualify by |
| 11 | | training and experience for the position for which application |
| 12 | | is made. Preference shall be given to applicants who are |
| 13 | | citizens of or residents in this State; however, if, after 6 |
| 14 | | months, no qualified State residents have filled the position, |
| 15 | | the position may be filled by any qualified candidate without |
| 16 | | requiring an additional posting on behalf of the university or |
| 17 | | other State entity. If a qualified candidate is chosen who is |
| 18 | | not a State resident, that candidate shall have 12 months to |
| 19 | | establish residency within this State or within 60 miles of |
| 20 | | the facility located within this State at which the candidate |
| 21 | | will be employed. In examinations for technical positions for |
| 22 | | which no qualified residents of this State are available the |
| 23 | | residence requirement may be waived. In examinations for law |

|
|
| 1 | | enforcement personnel, the residence requirement shall be |
| 2 | | waived. |
| 3 | | (b) Examinations may be written; oral; by statement of |
| 4 | | training and experience; in the form of tests of knowledge, |
| 5 | | skill, capacity, intellect, or aptitude; or by any other |
| 6 | | method which, in the judgment of the Merit Board, is |
| 7 | | reasonable and practical for any particular classification. |
| 8 | | The examinations shall be practical and shall relate to the |
| 9 | | classification for which the examination is given. No question |
| 10 | | in any examination shall relate to political or religious |
| 11 | | affiliation or racial origins of the examinee. |
| 12 | | (c) Different examining procedures may be determined for |
| 13 | | the examinations in different classifications, but all |
| 14 | | examinations in the same classification must be uniform. The |
| 15 | | examination requirement for the initial appointment, entry |
| 16 | | level position only, of law enforcement personnel may be |
| 17 | | waived if an applicant has satisfied all the requirements |
| 18 | | established by the Illinois Police Training Act for |
| 19 | | appointment of law enforcement officers and if the Merit Board |
| 20 | | allows for such a waiver by rule. Additional positions, entry |
| 21 | | level only, may have the examination requirement waived if the |
| 22 | | occupational standards are regulated by the Department of |
| 23 | | Financial and Professional Regulation, as designated by the |
| 24 | | Merit Board and provided for in adopted rules. |
