    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  




 
    Section 5. The State Universities Civil Service Act is 
amended  by changing Section 36f as follows:
 


    (110 ILCS 70/36f)  (from Ch. 24 1/2, par. 38b5)




    Sec. 36f. Examinations. 
    (a) All examinations given under the University System 
shall be open to
all applicants who are citizens of or 
residents in the State of Illinois
and who can qualify by 
training and experience for the position for
which application 
is made. In examinations for technical positions for
which no 
qualified residents of this State are available the residence

requirement may be waived. In examinations for law enforcement 
personnel, the residence requirement shall be waived. 
    (b) Examinations may be written; oral; by statement of 
training and experience; in the form of tests of knowledge, 
skill, capacity, intellect, or aptitude; or by any other 
method which, in the judgment of the Merit Board, is 
reasonable and practical for any particular classification. 
The examinations shall be practical and shall
relate to the 
classification for which the examination is given. No
question 
in any examination shall relate to political or religious

affiliation or racial origins of the examinee.

    (c) Different examining procedures may be determined for 
the examinations in different classifications, but all 
examinations in the same classification must be uniform.  The 
examination requirement for the initial appointment, entry 
level position only, of law enforcement personnel may be 
waived if an applicant has satisfied all the requirements 
established by the Illinois Police Training Act for 
appointment of law enforcement officers and if the Merit Board 
allows for such a waiver by rule.  Additional positions, entry 
level only, may have the examination requirement waived if the 
occupational standards are regulated by the Department of 
Financial and Professional Regulation, as designated by the 
Merit Board and provided for in adopted rules.
