Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(20 ILCS 415/8b.1) (from Ch. 127, par. 63b108b.1)

Sec. 8b.1.

For assessment to determine the relative fitness of other means applicants, including employees who do not have contractual rights under a collective bargaining agreement, for the respective position.

Assessments, which are the determination of whether an individual meets the minimum qualifications as determined by the  class specification of the position for which they are being considered, shall be designed to objectively eliminate those who are not qualified for the position into which they are applying, whether for entrance into State service or for promotion within the service, and to discover the relative
fitness of those who are qualified. The Director may use any one of or any
combination of the following examination methods or the equivalent, which in his judgment best
serves this end: investigation of education; investigation of experience;
test of cultural knowledge; test of capacity; test of knowledge; test of
manual skill; test of linguistic ability; test of character; test of
physical fitness; test of psychological fitness.
