Summary

Existing law creates the Department of Human Resources, which succeeds to and is vested with all of the powers and duties exercised and performed by the Department of Personnel Administration. Existing law specifically grants the department the powers, duties, and authority necessary to operate the state civil service system in accordance with Article VII of the California Constitution, the Government Code, the merit principle, and applicable rules duly adopted by the State Personnel Board. Existing law creates the Limited Examination and Appointment Program (LEAP) , which the Department of Human Resources administers, to provide an alternative to the traditional civil service examination and appointment process to facilitate the hiring of persons with disabilities. Existing law requires the Department of Human Resources, when an appointing power seeks to fill a vacant position by using an employment list, to provide the appointing power with a certified list of the names and addresses of all eligible candidates, as specified. Existing law requires the department to provide a single certified list of eligible candidates if more than one employment list or LEAP referral list exists, and the department is required to combine the names and addresses of all eligible candidates. This bill, as an alternative to receiving a combined list of eligible candidates, would require the department, upon request of an appointing power, to provide a list of eligibles that includes only the names and addresses of candidates, if any, on a LEAP referral list and the names and addresses of candidates, if any, on any applicable reemployment or State Restriction of Appointment list. The bill would authorize the appointing power to notify individuals listed of the opportunity to apply for a vacant position, to screen applications for candidates' eligibility, and to hire from among those eligible applicants whose names appear on the list. The bill would authorize the board to adopt or amend regulations, if necessary, to ensure these procedures are implemented in a manner consistent with merit principles and the California Constitution. Existing law requires the department or its designee to refer the names of persons with disabilities who meet eligibility criteria for participation and the minimum qualifications of the job classification and other requirements deemed appropriate by the board to appointing powers for examination appointments. Existing law authorizes the department to prescribe the method for referring names to appointing powers. This bill would instead require the department or its designee to create a referral list of names of persons with disabilities who meet eligibility criteria for participation and the minimum qualifications of the job classification, as specified. The bill would require such a referral list to be combined with other employment lists for the same classification using the procedure described above, unless the appointing power requests use of the alternative procedure, as described above. If the eligibility list is obtained through this alternative procedure, the bill would authorize the list provided to the hiring manager to identify those who are qualified through LEAP. The bill would also include related legislative findings.
