§ 14-84. Applications and examination admission.

(a)

All applications shall be made on forms prescribed by the director who may require such information as he deems pertinent, but no questions in the application, or in any other portion of the examination, shall be so framed as to elicit information concerning the political, fraternal or religious opinion or affiliation of the applicant.

(b)

Any person may apply for any examination unless the public notice of same shall disqualify such person based upon a bona fide occupational qualification.

(c)

The commission or director may reject the application of any person for admission to an examination, or refuse to examine any applicant, who is found to lack any of the qualifications prescribed in the public notice, or who is physically or mentally unqualified to perform the duties of the class, or who has been dismissed from the public service for delinquency or misconduct, or who has made false statements of any material fact, or has practiced or attempted to practice deception or fraud in his application or in his examination. In every such case, the commission may reject the application and likewise may cancel the eligibility of the applicant if he has already been admitted to an examination and has attained a place on a list of eligibles, and take action for his removal from the service in case he has already received appointment when such finding is made.

(d)

The director may exclude from any further participation in any examination any applicant who does not make a passing grade on any part of an examination where the examination is in more than one part. Failure in any portion of the examination shall be sufficient grounds for exclusion in any other part of the examination, or, if all portions of the examination have been completed, the director may declare such applicant as failing in the entire examination.

(e)

When applications are received from qualified applicants who are living in another city and it is not practical for such applicants to present themselves in the city for the examination, the director may make arrangements with any other person in that city who is acceptable to the commission to administer the examination.
