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.

(65 ILCS 5/10-1-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 10-1-12)

Sec. 10-1-12.

Register; eligibility list.

From the returns or reports
of the examiners, or from the examinations made by the commission, the
commission shall prepare a register for each grade or class of positions in the
classified service of such municipality of the persons whose general average
standing upon examination for such grade or class is not less than the minimum
fixed by the rules of such commission, and who are otherwise eligible.  Such
persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates in the order of their
relative excellence as determined by examination, without reference to priority
of time of examination.

Within 60 days after each examination, an eligibility list shall be posted
by the Commission, which shall show the final grades of the candidates without
reference to priority of time of examination and subject to claim for military
credit.  Candidates who are eligible for military credit shall make a claim
in writing within 10 days after posting of the eligibility list or such
claim shall be deemed waived.  Appointment shall be subject to a final physical
examination.

If a person is placed on an eligibility list and becomes overage before he
or she is appointed to a police or fire department, the person remains eligible
for appointment until the list is abolished pursuant to authorized procedures.
Otherwise no person who has attained the age of 36 years shall be inducted as a
member of a police department and no person who has attained the age of 35
years shall be inducted as a member of a fire department, except as otherwise
provided in this division. With respect to a police department, a veteran shall be allowed to exceed the maximum age provision of this Section by the number of years served on active military duty, but by no more than 10 years of active military duty.
