Section 8.01 Establishment of a Register
The Commissioner will prepare a list of persons qualified and
eligible for appointment to positions in one or more classes. This list will
include candidates for re-employment, competitive appointment, transfer,
demotion, and restoration. Candidates for competitive appointment must have
passed the appropriate examination and shall be listed in order of qualifying
score, highest score first. Candidates for competitive appointment may include
agency promotional, State promotional and/or open-competitive

will normally remain active for two years from the date of examination, except
that this period may be reduced or extended by the Commissioner.
8.012 The name of a candidate may remain on a
register so long as he has an active score or, if he has no score, so long as
he remains eligible for re-employment, transfer, demotion or restoration,
unless removed at the candidate's request or by the Commissioner for reasons
authorized by sub sections 7.06 and 8.02.
