Latest version.
  • 1.  The  state  civil  service  commission may, by unanimous vote of the three members
        (a)   amend   or   rescind  any  rule,  regulation  or  jurisdictional
      classification prescribed by  a  municipal  commission,  but  shall  not
      exempt  from competitive examination any office or position in any civil
      division  without  the  consent  of  the  municipal  commission   having
      jurisdiction;
        (b)  rescind  any  appointment  in  the  classified service of a civil
      division;
        (c)  remove  from  any  eligible  list  established  by  a   municipal
      commission the name of any person thereon; and
        (d)  rescind any examination or eligible list or cancel an appointment
      already made from a list so rescinded.
        2. The state civil service commission, however, shall  not  take  such
      action  upon  any  ground other than that the provisions of this chapter
      are not properly or sufficiently carried out, nor without specifying  in
      writing  the  particulars  in which such provisions are not carried out.
      Before any such action is taken,  the  state  civil  service  commission
      shall  state the reasons for such action in writing and file a certified
      copy thereof in the office of the municipal commission concerned,  which
      shall  be  a  public document therein, and shall give to such commission
      and the person aggrieved thereby a  reasonable  opportunity  to  present
      facts in opposition to such action.
