Summary

The State Civil Service Act requires that eligible lists for state civil service positions be established as a result of free competitive examinations open to persons who lawfully may be appointed and who meet the minimum qualifications. The act requires the State Personnel Board or a designated appointing power to advertise examinations for the establishment of eligible lists within a reasonable time before the scheduled date of the exam. This bill would require that the announcement of an examination be publicly displayed on the Internet Web site maintained by the board. The bill would also require that, whenever a vacancy in any position is to be filled, the appointing agency advertise or announce the vacancy on the Internet Web site maintained by the board for a reasonable period of time. Existing law requires that names of employees to be laid off or demoted be placed upon the reemployment list for the subdivision, if a subdivision was designated, upon the departmental reemployment list, and upon the general reemployment list, for the class from which the employees were laid off or demoted. Existing law also authorizes the Department of Personnel Administration to place these names upon the general reemployment list for any other appropriate classes as the department determines. This bill would additionally require the names of laid off employees to be placed on general reemployment lists in comparable statewide classifications whenever layoffs affect employees in a classification specific to one department or in a classification with a parenthetical class code used in limited departments. The bill would require the removal of any name, after a period of 5 consecutive years, from the reemployment lists for the class unless the period is extended by action of the department.
