Simplified form of tests ACTIVE

In every instance where this Part requires that a position be filled by competitive examination, the examination or tests which are given shall be truly competitive in character. No provision to fill the position by a non-competitive examination shall be deemed to be in effect under the provisions of this Part. But the director, subject to the rules, may provide for simplified types of competitive tests, and of procedures for rating their results, and for establishment of employment lists and certification there under his supervision, by designated representatives on the staffs of local establishments or otherwise, in the cases of any classes for which such action seems desirable.
