Civil Service Commission

The Civil Service Commission is a seven-member body that has final authority over the administration of the Civil Service system. The Commission serves as an impartial review board that enacts and adjudicates Civil Service Rules to regulate state personnel activities, and hears appeals from state employees and agencies. Commission meetings and hearings are held monthly and are open to the public. 

Six of the Commission members are appointed by the governor; the seventh is an employee representative elected by fellow state employees. Each member serves a six year term. When choosing an appointed member, the Governor must select from a list of three people nominated by the president of one of the state's major private universities. Current members of the Commission are listed below.

To contact Commission members, call the Department of Civil Service at 225-342-8272.
