| | A BILL FOR |
|
| | | HB1760 | | LRB097 05377 RLJ 45434 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act | 5 | | is amended by changing Sections 4.10 and 4.11 as follows:
| 6 | | (70 ILCS 2605/4.10) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.10)
| 7 | | Sec. 4.10. Promotions. The Director shall note of record | 8 | | the duties
(whether imposed by
law, official regulation or | 9 | | practice) of each classification in the
classified service, and | 10 | | shall thereupon by rule fix lines for promotion
from lower | 11 | | classifications to
higher classifications in all
cases where, | 12 | | in his or her judgment, the experience gained in the lower
| 13 | | classification may tend to qualify an employee to perform the | 14 | | duties of a
higher classification. In case of vacancy in
higher | 15 | | classifications, which cannot be filled by reinstatement, the
| 16 | | Director shall hold promotional examinations to fill such
| 17 | | vacancy. Incumbents
of classifications in lines of promotion | 18 | | established by the Director shall be solely
eligible for such | 19 | | examination, unless in the judgment of the Director, it
is for | 20 | | the best interests of the service that original examination for | 21 | | such
vacancy be held. In promotional examinations, efficiency | 22 | | and
seniority in
service shall form a part of such examination, | 23 | | but combined shall not carry
a weight of more than 25% of the |
| | | HB1760 | - 2 - | LRB097 05377 RLJ 45434 b |
|
| 1 | | total examination points. Although efficiency and seniority in | 2 | | service shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total | 3 | | examination points, the Director may require candidates to | 4 | | separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the | 5 | | examination in order for the candidates to be eligible to take | 6 | | the subsequent parts of the examination. If the Director | 7 | | requires candidates to separately pass the efficiency and | 8 | | seniority parts of the examination, then any candidate who does | 9 | | not pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination | 10 | | shall fail the entire examination. All examinations for
| 11 | | promotion shall be
competitive. The method of examination, the | 12 | | rules governing the same, and
the method of certifying shall be | 13 | | the same as provided for in the original
examination.

|
| 1 | | human resources, and laborers, the appointing
officer shall | 2 | | make requisition upon the Director, and the Director shall
| 3 | | certify to him or her from the register of eligibles for the | 4 | | position the names
and addresses (a) of the five candidates | 5 | | standing highest upon the register
of eligibles for the | 6 | | position, or (b) of the candidates within the highest
ranking | 7 | | group upon the register of eligibles if the register is by | 8 | | categories
such as excellent, well qualified, and qualified, | 9 | | provided, however, that
any certification shall consist of at | 10 | | least 5 names, if available. The
Director shall certify all of | 11 | | the names and addresses of the candidates from succeeding | 12 | | categories in the order of
excellence of the categories only | 13 | | until at least 5 names are provided to the
appointing officer. | 14 | | The appointing officer
shall notify the Director of each | 15 | | position to be filled separately and
shall fill the position by | 16 | | appointment of one of the persons certified
to him by the | 17 | | Director. Appointments shall be on probation for a period to

this | 3 | | Section, and examinations to supply an eligible list therefor | 4 | | shall
be held and an eligible list established therefrom within | 5 | | one year from

temporary and transitory | 10 | | nature, the appointing officer may, with the
authority of the | 11 | | Director of Human Resources make temporary appointments. No | 12 | | temporary appointment of an essentially temporary and
| 13 | | transitory nature may be granted for a period of

include in his or her annual report, and if | 16 | | required by the commissioners, in
any special report, a | 17 | | statement of all temporary authorities granted
during the year | 18 | | or period specified by the commissioners, together with
