Statute Text
Classified civil service vacancies; certification of candidates for vacancies.
Whenever there is a vacancy in any
position in the classified civil service, the appointing power shall
immediately notify the commission thereof. The commission shall thereupon
certify to the appointing power the names and addresses of the three eligible
candidates standing highest upon the register for the classification or grade
to which such position belongs. If there are fewer than three, the commission
shall certify all candidates upon the register. When vacancies exist in two or
more positions of the same classification in the same department at the same
time, the commission shall certify at least two candidates for each position,
but those certified must be the eligible candidates standing highest upon the
register. The appointing power may require the candidates so certified to come
before the appointing power, and the appointing power may inspect their
examination papers. The regulations for certification of applicants for
promotion shall, as near as may be, follow the regulations governing the certification
of applicants for original appointment. [Amended by 2005 c.22 §183]
