Connecticut General Statutes Title 5. State Employees § 5-220. Conduct of examinations

(a) Examinations shall be conducted by the Commissioner of Administrative Services or under his direction by an authorized agent. In giving examinations for positions in the classified service, the commissioner may obtain the assistance of persons not on the regular staff of the Department of Administrative Services, either within or without the classified service. When such persons are in the state service, it shall be deemed a part of their official duty to act as examiners without extra compensation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, the Commissioner of Administrative Services may fully or partially delegate to the heads of state agencies the authority to administer promotional programs for positions in state service subject to post audit by the Department of Administrative Services. The delegation plan shall be approved by said commissioner, shall provide for consideration of all eligible persons and shall include adequate notice of the vacancy or vacancies to all potentially eligible employees, the procedures for application and methods to be used to evaluate the qualifications of eligible persons.
