AB428,1,3
1An Act to amend 230.275 (1) (intro.) of the statutes;
relating to: noncompetitive
2appointment of certain disabled veterans to classified positions in the state civil
3service system.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, whenever a vacancy occurs in a position in the classified service of
the state civil service system that is determined by the administrator of the Division
of Merit Recruitment and Selection in the Office of State Employment Relations to
be a nonprofessional or an entry professional position, the appointing authority may
appoint a disabled veteran on a noncompetitive basis if all of the following occur: the
disabled veteran has served in the U.S. armed forces and is included on a U.S. armed
forces permanent disability list with a disability rating of at least 30 percent or the
disabled veteran has been rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as
having a compensable service-connected disability of at least 30 percent; the
disabled veteran presents to the appointing authority written documentation from
an appropriate department of the federal government certifying the existence and
extent of the disability; and the appointing authority determines that the disabled
veteran is qualified to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position.
This bill provides that this noncompetitive appointment program for disabled
veterans applies to all positions in the classified service of the state civil service
system.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
