Title IV EXECUTIVE BRANCH

36.180. Director to determine eligibility of candidates for examination — reader for blind, interpreter for hearing impaired. — 1. The standards of education or experience in the classification plan for each class shall be established on the basis of specified knowledge, skills and abilities. Admission to examinations shall be open to all persons who possess the qualifications and who may be lawfully appointed to a position in the class for which a register is to be established. The regulations may also require that applicants achieve at least a satisfactory grade in each progressive part of the examination in order to be admitted to subsequent parts of the examination or to receive a final passing score.

2. To ensure competitive equality between the hearing impaired or the blind and persons not so disabled, the applicant may request from the director the furnishing of a certified interpreter for the hearing impaired or an amanuensis or a reader for the blind when necessary, and the furnishing of a place to take such examination, or such other similar prerequisites to ensure equality in such examination.

3. The director may reject the application of any person for admission to an examination, strike the name of any person from the register, refuse to certify the name of any person, or withdraw the certification of a person if the director finds that the person lacks any of the qualifications, has been convicted of a crime which raises questions about his or her qualifications, has been dismissed from the public service for delinquency, has made a false statement of a material fact or practiced or attempted to practice any fraud or deception, in his or her application or examination or in attempting to secure appointment.

4. The director may take such action as is authorized in subsection 3 of this section if the director finds the person has a health condition or disability which would clearly prohibit the person from performing the duties required for the position for which the applicant has applied.
