(1) The director shall provide by
rule, the conditions, not otherwise provided by law, under which
an eligible may be refused certification. These conditions shall
be based on sufficient reason and shall reflect sound technical
personnel management practices and those standards of conduct,
deportment, and character necessary and demanded to the orderly, efficient, and just operation of the state service.
(2) If the director refuses to certify an eligible, as provided in
this section, the director, if requested by the applicant so rejected
within 10 days of the date of receipt of the notice of rejection,
shall give the applicant a full and explicit statement of the exact
cause of such refusal to certify. Applicants may appeal to the
commission the decision of the director to refuse to certify under
s. 230.44 (1) (a). Upon request of an applicant or an eligible for a
civil service position who has a disability, the department of
health services shall obtain from the director a detailed description of all duties entailed by such position and shall determine
and report its findings to the director, as to the ability of the applicant, or eligible, to perform the duties of such position. Such
findings shall be conclusive as to the qualifications of any applicant, or eligible, so examined. A notice of rejection shall notify
an applicant or eligible of his or her rights under this subsection.
(3) When any position to be filled involves fiduciary responsibility, the appointing authority shall conduct a criminal history
background check before offering employment to an applicant for
the position. If otherwise permitted by law, the appointing authority may require the appointee to furnish bond or other security, and shall notify the director of the amount and other details
thereof. Any surety company authorized to do business in this
state shall be a sufficient security on any such bond.
