SECTION 19240-19241
19240. (a) The State Personnel Board shall be responsible for the Limited Examination and Appointment Program. This program shall provide an alternative to the traditional civil service examination and appointment process to facilitate the hiring of persons with disabilities in the state civil service where accommodation can be provided and where prohibitive physical requirements are not mandated by the board. (b) "Disability" for the purposes of this article has the definition set forth in Section 12926, as that section presently reads or as it subsequently may be amended. (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), if the definition of "disability" used in the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) would result in broader protection of the civil rights of individuals with a mental or physical disability, as defined in subdivision (b), then that broader protection shall be deemed incorporated by reference into, and shall prevail over conflicting provisions of, the definition in subdivision (b). The definition of "disability" contained in subdivision (b) shall not be deemed to refer to or include conditions excluded from the federal definition of "disability" pursuant to Section 511 of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12211). 19241. The board shall establish rules and procedures for the implementation of this chapter, which may provide for the establishment of eligibility criteria for participation, special job classifications, examination techniques, and appointment and appeals procedures.
