§ 25. Powers of state civil service commission with respect to local
rules; appointments and eligible lists. 1. The state civil service
commission may, by unanimous vote of the three members
(a) amend or rescind any rule, regulation or jurisdictional
classification prescribed by a municipal commission, but shall not
exempt from competitive examination any office or position in any civil
division without the consent of the municipal commission having
jurisdiction;
(b) rescind any appointment in the classified service of a civil
division;
(c) remove from any eligible list established by a municipal
commission the name of any person thereon; and
(d) rescind any examination or eligible list or cancel an appointment
already made from a list so rescinded.
2. The state civil service commission, however, shall not take such
action upon any ground other than that the provisions of this chapter
are not properly or sufficiently carried out, nor without specifying in
writing the particulars in which such provisions are not carried out.
Before any such action is taken, the state civil service commission
shall state the reasons for such action in writing and file a certified
copy thereof in the office of the municipal commission concerned, which
shall be a public document therein, and shall give to such commission
and the person aggrieved thereby a reasonable opportunity to present
facts in opposition to such action.
