This bill specifically authorizes, for 1st class cities (presently only Milwaukee), certain members of the fire and police departments, and certain employees of first class cities who are not members of the classified service, to take general promotional examinations that are given by or for the city service commission if these persons are otherwise qualified to take such examinations. The bill does not apply to officers who are elected by the people, one deputy in each department whose office was created by statute, heads of principal departments of the city, and certain appointees of the mayor.
