Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

70 ILCS 2605/4.10

    (70 ILCS 2605/4.10) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.10)
    Sec. 4.10. Promotions. The Director shall note of record the duties (whether imposed by law, official regulation or practice) of each classification in the classified service, and shall thereupon by rule fix lines for promotion from lower classifications to higher classifications in all cases where, in his or her judgment, the experience gained in the lower classification may tend to qualify an employee to perform the duties of a higher classification. In case of vacancy in higher classifications, which cannot be filled by reinstatement, the Director shall hold promotional examinations to fill such vacancy. Incumbents of classifications in lines of promotion established by the Director shall be solely eligible for such examination, unless in the judgment of the Director, it is for the best interests of the service that original examination for such vacancy be held. In promotional examinations, efficiency and seniority in service shall form a part of such examination, but combined shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total examination points. Although efficiency and seniority in service shall not carry a weight of more than 25% of the total examination points, the Director may require candidates to separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination in order for the candidates to be eligible to take the subsequent parts of the examination. If the Director requires candidates to separately pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination, then any candidate who does not pass the efficiency and seniority parts of the examination shall fail the entire examination. All examinations for promotion shall be competitive. The method of examination, the rules governing the same, and the method of certifying shall be the same as provided for in the original examination.
