    AN ACT concerning fire fighters.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended  by 
changing Section 10-2.1-14 as follows:
 



    (65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-14)  (from Ch. 24, par. 10-2.1-14)



    Sec. 10-2.1-14. Register of eligibles. The board of fire 
and police
commissioners shall prepare and keep a register of 
persons whose general
average standing, upon examination, is 
not less than the minimum fixed by the
rules of the board, and 
who are otherwise eligible.  These persons shall take
rank upon 
the register as candidates in the order of their relative 
excellence
as determined by examination, without reference to 
priority of time of
examination.
Applicants who have been 
awarded a certificate attesting to their successful
completion 
of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement Training Course, 
as
provided in the Illinois Police Training Act, may be given 
preference in
appointment over noncertified applicants. 
Applicants for appointment to fire departments who are licensed 
as an EMT-B, EMT-I, or EMT-P under the Emergency Medical 
Services (EMS) Systems Act, may be given preference in 
appointment over non-licensed applicants.


    Within 60 days after each examination, an eligibility list

shall be posted by the board, which shall show the final grades 
of
the candidates without reference to priority of time of 
examination
and subject to claim for military credit.  
Candidates who are
eligible for military credit shall make a 
claim in writing within 10 days after
the posting of the 
eligibility list or such claim shall be deemed waived.

Appointment shall be subject to a final physical examination.

    If a person is placed on an eligibility list and becomes 
overage before he
or she is appointed to a police or fire 
department, the person remains eligible
for appointment until 
the list is abolished pursuant to authorized procedures.

Otherwise no person who has attained the age of 36 years shall 
be inducted as a
member of a police department and no person 
who has attained the age of 35
years shall be inducted as a 
member of a fire department, except as otherwise
provided in 
this division.
