|
| 9 | | (a) The
The board of fire and police commissioners shall |
| 10 | | give preference for
original appointment to persons designated |
| 11 | | in Section 10-2.1-8 whose names
appear on any register of |
| 12 | | eligibles resulting from an examination for
original entrance |
| 13 | | in the classified service of the fire and police
departments of |
| 14 | | any municipality coming under the provisions of this
Division |
| 15 | | 2.1 by adding to the final grade average which they receive or
|
| 16 | | will receive as the result of any examination held for original |
| 17 | | entrance, 5
points. The board shall also give preference to |
| 18 | | persons eligible under
subsection (b) as provided in that |
| 19 | | subsection. The numerical result thus
attained shall be applied |
| 20 | | by the board of fire and police commissioners in
determining |
| 21 | | the position of such persons on any eligibility list which has |
| 22 | | been
created as the result of any examination for original |
| 23 | | entrance for purposes of
preference in certification and |
|
| | SB0739 | - 2 - | LRB099 06022 AWJ 26076 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | appointment from such eligibility list. The
board shall strike |
| 2 | | off the names of candidates for original appointment after
such |
| 3 | | names have been on the list for more than 2 years. |
| 4 | | (b) All persons who, on or after the effective date of this |
| 5 | | amendatory Act
of 1993, have been paid-on-call certified |
| 6 | | firefighters II, paramedics, or any
combination of those |
| 7 | | capacities, of the municipality shall be awarded 0.5 point
for |
| 8 | | each year of successful service in one or more of those |
| 9 | | capacities, up to a
maximum of 5 points at the time of |
| 10 | | examination for original appointment to the
classified service |
| 11 | | of the fire department. Certified firefighters III shall be
|
| 12 | | awarded one point per year up to a maximum of 5 points. |
| 13 | | Applicants from
outside the municipality who were employed as |
| 14 | | full-time firefighters or
firefighter-paramedics by a fire |
| 15 | | protection district or another municipality
for at least 2 |
| 16 | | years shall have the same preference as paid-on-call personnel.
|
| 17 | | These additional points presuppose a rating scale totalling 100 |
| 18 | | points
available for the eligibility list. If more or fewer |
| 19 | | points are used in the
rating scale for the eligibility list, |
| 20 | | the points awarded under this subsection
shall be increased or |
| 21 | | decreased by a factor equal to the total possible points
|
| 22 | | available for the examination divided by 100.
|
| 23 | | No person entitled to additional points under this |
| 24 | | subsection shall be
required to claim that preference or credit |
| 25 | | before an examination
is held. The preference shall be given |
| 26 | | after the posting or publication of the
eligibility list. To |
|
| | SB0739 | - 3 - | LRB099 06022 AWJ 26076 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | qualify for the preference, applicants who are eligible
for |
| 2 | | credit under this subsection shall make a claim for that |
| 3 | | credit, in
writing, within 10 days after the posting of the |
| 4 | | eligibility list, or the claim
shall be deemed waived. Upon |
| 5 | | request by the board of fire and police
commissioners, the |
| 6 | | governing body of the municipality or (in the case of
|
| 7 | | applicants from outside the municipality) the governing body of |
| 8 | | any fire
protection district or any other municipality shall |
| 9 | | certify to the board of
fire and police commissioners, within |
| 10 | | 10 days of the request, the number of
years of successful |
| 11 | | paid-on-call service of any person. A candidate may not
receive |
| 12 | | preference points under this subsection if the amount of points |
| 13 | | awarded
would place the candidate before a veteran on the |
| 14 | | eligibility list.
