| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act | ||||
is amended by changing Sections 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 as follows:
| ||||
(70 ILCS 2605/4.9) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.9)
| ||||
Sec. 4.9.
From the return or reports of examiners, or from | ||||
the examinations
which he or she has made, the Director shall | ||||
prepare a register for each grade or
class of positions in the | ||||
classified service of the sanitary district of
the persons who | ||||
shall attain such minimum mark as may be fixed by the
Director | ||||
for any part of such examination, and whose general average
| ||||
standing upon examination for such grade or class is not less | ||||
than the
minimum fixed by the rules of the Director, and who | ||||
are otherwise eligible;
and such persons shall take rank upon | ||||
the register as candidates in the
order of their relative | ||||
excellence as determined by examination, without
reference to | ||||
priority of time of examination. The Director may substitute
| ||||
categories designated as A, B, and C such as excellent, well | ||||
qualified, and qualified, for numerical
ratings and establish | ||||
eligible registers accordingly.
The notice of examination | ||||
shall specify
the category or categories upon which selection | ||||
will be made.

| ||
(70 ILCS 2605/4.10) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.10)
| ||
Sec. 4.10. Promotions. The Director shall note of record | ||
the duties
(whether imposed by
law, official regulation or | ||
practice) of each classification in the
classified service, and | ||
shall thereupon by rule fix lines for promotion
from lower | ||
classifications to
higher classifications in all
cases where, | ||
in his or her judgment, the experience gained in the lower
| ||
classification may tend to qualify an employee to perform the | ||
duties of a
higher classification. In case of vacancy in
higher | ||
classifications, which cannot be filled by reinstatement, the
| ||
Director shall hold promotional examinations to fill such
| ||
vacancy. Incumbents
of classifications in lines of promotion | ||
established by the Director shall be solely
eligible for such | ||
examination, unless in the judgment of the Director, it
is for | ||
the best interests of the service that original examination for | ||
such
vacancy be held. In promotional examinations, efficiency | ||
and
seniority in
service shall form a part of such examination, | ||
but combined shall not carry
a weight of more than 25% of the | ||
total examination points. Although efficiency and seniority in | ||
service shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total | ||
examination points, the Director may require candidates to | ||
separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the | ||
examination in order for the candidates to be eligible to take | ||
the subsequent parts of the examination. If the Director | ||
requires candidates to separately pass the efficiency and | ||
seniority parts of the examination, then any candidate who does | ||
not pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination | ||
shall fail the entire examination. All examinations for
| ||
promotion shall be
competitive. The method of examination, the | ||
rules governing the same, and
the method of certifying shall be | ||
the same as provided for in the original
examination.
