APPENDIX A: SPB Rule 250
NOTICE of EFFECTIVE DATE of REGULATION CHANGE
California Code of Regulations
Title 2. Administration
Division 1. Administrative Personnel
DATE:
June 4, 2004
TO:
ALL STATE AGENCIES, EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS, AND
MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNOR’S CABINET
SUBJECT: California Code of Regulations Title 2, § 250 – Requirement That
Selection Be Based on Merit and Fitness
This memorandum is to advise you that California Code of Regulations (CCR)
Title 2, § 250 as presented to and adopted by the State Personnel Board (SPB) on
September 9, 2003, became effective on May 17, 2004. A copy of the final regulation
is attached and will be published in the CCR, Title 2, Division 1, § 250.
By explicitly defining merit and fitness, Rule 250 clarifies the State’s Constitutional
mandate to utilize a selection system based on merit and fitness when making
permanent appointments and promotions in the State’s civil service. In addition, it
clarifies that merit in the State’s selection system extends beyond the administration
of civil service examinations and the establishment of eligible lists. Specifically, the
State’s selection system encompasses all steps in the selection process, including
recruitment and advertising, testing for the establishment of eligible lists, hiring
interviews,
background/reference
checks, medical evaluation,
drug testing,
psychological screening, and civil service probation.
With the adoption of Rule 250, SPB codifies every department’s obligation to conduct
merit-based examinations and selection processes. Under the provisions of
Government Code § 18930.5, SPB has delegated to departments the design,
announcement, and administration of examinations for the establishment of lists.
Departments, in administering their decentralized testing program, share a significant
role in promoting and upholding a meritorious State selection system that satisfies
the Constitutional mandate and the provisions of Rule 250. Departments, therefore,
must apply these merit principles to each selection and testing process by inviting
broad and inclusive competition, utilizing sound testing devices for the competitive
assessment of job-related qualifications, and providing fair and equitable treatment of
applicants and employees on an equal opportunity basis.
