December 13, 2005

General Circular No. 001640

 

To:                   Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

 

Subject:            Proposed Amendment to Rule 2.15, Suspension of Deadlines

 

Issue Date:       December 13, 2005

 

The State Civil Service Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 to consider a proposed amendment to Rule 2.15. The hearing will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will be held in the Louisiana Purchase Room of the Claiborne Building, 1201 North Third Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

 

Consideration will be given to the following:

 

 To amend and reenact Civil Service Rule 2.15 to read as follows:

 

2.15     Suspension of deadlines

 

All deadlines imposed by or under these rules are suspended during the period(s) that the governor or other legal authority suspends prescriptive and/or preemptive periods.

 

EXPLANATION

 

Current Rule 2.15, adopted on an emergency basis on September 14, 2005, will expire on January 12, 2006. This proposed rule would replace the emergency rule and would moot the issue of whether the governor or any other authority can suspend deadlines established in the Civil Service Rules. 

 

Persons interested in making comments relative to these proposals may do so at the public hearing or by writing to the Director of the Department of State Civil Service at Post Office Box 94111, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70804-9111.

 

If any accommodations are needed, please notify the Department of State Civil Service at (225) 342-8272 prior to the meeting.

  

Sincerely,

 

 

s/Anne S. Soileau

Acting Director
