Title IV EXECUTIVE BRANCH

36.190. Notice of examination — information to be given in notice — how given. — 1. The director shall give public notice of each open competitive and promotional examination sufficiently in advance of such examination and sufficiently widespread in scope to afford persons who are interested in participating in the examination a reasonable opportunity to apply. The time elapsing between the official announcement of an examination and the holding of such examination shall be not less than two calendar weeks, except that a lesser period of advance notice may be permissible under the regulations when the examination is conducted under the provisions of subsection 3 of section 36.320 or when the needs of the service pursuant to subsection 1 of section 36.260 require special notices.

2. Each official notice of an examination shall state the title, duties, pay and qualifications of positions for which the examination is to be held; the time, place and manner of making application for admission to such examination; and any other information which the director considers pertinent and useful.

3. The director shall ensure that the official announcement of an examination is given the widest distribution necessary to inform qualified persons that the examination is being given. The director may use any means that the director considers necessary to inform qualified persons about the examination. These include, but are not limited to, paid advertisements in newspapers, periodicals, electronic media and announcements to educational institutions. The director may also publish a periodic bulletin containing information about examinations to be sent to subscribers at a price approximating the cost of publication.
