GOVERNMENT CODE

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.
