§ 20. Rules. 1. Scope of rules. Each municipal civil service commission shall prescribe, amend and enforce suitable rules for carrying into effect the provisions of this chapter and of section six of article five of the constitution of the state of New York, including rules for the jurisdictional classification of the offices and employments in the classified service under its jurisdiction, for the position classification of such offices and employments, for examinations therefor and for appointments, promotions, transfers, resignations and reinstatements therein, all in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

The rules and any modifications thereof adopted by a suburban town civil service commission in such a town described in subdivision four of section two of this chapter or personnel officer of such a suburban town shall be valid and take effect only upon approval of the state civil service commission.

Any such rule or modification thereof shall be filed with the secretary of state within thirty daysafter final approval thereof by the state civil service commission. Such rules shall have the force and effect of law when filed with the secretary of state. 3. State civil service commission to promulgate rules. Upon the establishment of a municipal or regional civil service commission, or the office of municipal or regional personnel officer, it shall be the duty of such commission or personnel officer, upon appointment, to adopt and procure the approval of the rules herein provided for, and, upon failure to do so within sixty days after appointment, the state civil service commission shall forthwith make such rules.
