Pennsylvania SB593 provides additional points for applicants with disabilities in civil service examinations.

Pennsylvania SB593 amends Title 71 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add a section allowing applicants with disabilities to receive an additional five points on their civil service examination scores. This applies to both entrance and promotion in classified service. To qualify, applicants must voluntarily disclose their disability and provide supporting documentation. The additional points will determine the applicant's standing on eligibility lists. The act mandates advertising this policy on the commission's website and in all announcements and examination materials.
