    AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Metropolitan  Water  Reclamation
District Act by changing Sections 4.7, 4.11, and 5.9  and  by
adding Section 271.

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

    Section 5.  The Metropolitan Water  Reclamation  District
Act is amended by changing Sections 4.7, 4.11, and 5.9 and by
adding Section 271 as follows:

    (70 ILCS 2605/4.7) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.7)
    Sec.  4.7.   All applicants for offices or places in said
classified civil service, except for the positions of  deputy
chief  engineer,    assistant chief engineers, head assistant
attorneys, assistant director of  research  and  development,
assistant  director  of  information technology, comptroller,
assistant treasurer, assistant purchasing agent and  laborers
shall  be subjected to examination, which shall be public and
competitive with limitations specified in the  rules  of  the
Director  as  to  residence,  age, sex, health, habits, moral
character and qualifications to perform  the  duties  of  the
office  or  place to be filled, which qualifications shall be
prescribed in advance of such examination.  Such examinations
shall be practical in their character, and  shall  relate  to
those matters which will fairly test the relative capacity of
the  persons examined to discharge the duties of the position
to which they seek to be appointed, and may include tests  of
physical  qualifications  and health and when appropriate, of
manual skill. No question in any examination shall relate  to
political   or   religious  opinions  or  affiliations.   The
Director shall control all examinations, and may, whenever an
examination is to take place, designate a suitable number  of
persons  to  be special examiners and it shall be the duty of
such special examiners to conduct such  examinations  as  the
Director may direct, and to make return and report thereof to
him;  and  he  may at any time substitute any other person in
the place of any one so selected; and he may himself, at  any
time,  act  as  such special examiner, and without appointing
other  special  examiners.   The  Director  shall,  by  rule,
provide for and shall hold sufficient number of  examinations
to  provide  a sufficient number of eligibles on the register
for each grade of position in the classified  civil  service,
and if any place in the classified civil service shall become
vacant, to which there is no person eligible for appointment,
he shall hold an examination for such position and repeat the
same,  if  necessary, until a vacancy is filled in accordance
with the provisions of this Act.
    Eligible registers shall remain in  force  for  3  years,
except  the eligible register for laborers which shall remain
in force for 4 years and except the  eligible  registers  for
student programs and entry level engineering positions which,
in  the  Director's  discretion,  may remain in force for one
year.
    Examinations for an eligible list for  each  position  in
the classified service above mentioned shall be held at least
once  in  3  years and at least annually for student programs
and entry level engineering positions  if  the  Director  has
limited  the duration of the registers for those positions to
one  year,  unless  the   Director   determines   that   such
examinations are not necessary because no vacancy exists.
    To  help  defray  expenses  of examinations, the sanitary
district may, but need not, charge a fee  to  each  applicant
who  desires to take a civil service examination provided for
by this Act. The amount of such fees  shall  be  set  by  the
corporate  authority  of  the  sanitary  district.  Such fees
shall be deposited in the corporate fund of the district.

    (70 ILCS 2605/4.11) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.11)
    Sec. 4.11.  Whenever a position classified under this Act
is to  be  filled,  except  the  positions  of  deputy  chief
engineer,   assistant   chief   engineers,   head   assistant
attorneys,  assistant  director  of research and development,
assistant director of  information  technology,  comptroller,
assistant  treasurer, assistant purchasing agent and laborers
the  appointing  officer  shall  make  requisition  upon  the
Director, and the Director shall  certify  to  him  from  the
register   of  eligibles  for  the  position  the  names  and
addresses (a) of the five candidates  standing  highest  upon
the  register  of  eligibles  for the position, or (b) of the
candidates within the highest ranking group upon the register
of eligibles  if  the  register  is  by  categories  such  as
excellent,  well qualified, and qualified, provided, however,
that any certification shall consist of at least 5 names,  if
available.  The  Director shall certify names from succeeding
categories in the order of excellence of the categories until
at least 5 names are provided to the appointing officer.  The
appointing officer shall notify the Director of each position
to be filled  separately  and  shall  fill  the  position  by
appointment  of  one  of  the persons certified to him by the
Director.   Appointments shall be on probation for  a  period
to  be  fixed  by  the rules, not exceeding one year.  At any
time during the period of probation, the  appointing  officer
with  the  approval of the Director may discharge a person so
certified and shall forthwith notify the civil service  board
in writing of this discharge.  If a person is not discharged,
his appointment shall be deemed complete.
    When  there  is  no eligible list, the appointing officer
may, with the authority of the  Director,  make  a  temporary
appointment  to  remain  in  force  only  until  a  permanent
appointment  from an eligible register or list can be made in
the manner specified  in  the  previous  provisions  of  this
Section, and examinations to supply an eligible list therefor
shall  be  held  and  an  eligible list established therefrom
within one year from the  making  of  such  appointment.   In
employment of an essentially temporary and transitory nature,
the  appointing  officer  may,  with  the  authority  of  the
Director  of  Personnel make temporary appointments to fill a
vacancy.   No  temporary  appointment   of   an   essentially
temporary  and  transitory nature may be granted for a period
of more than 120 days and is not  subject  to  renewal.   The
Director  must  include in his annual report, and if required
by the commissioners, in any special report, a  statement  of
all  temporary  authorities granted during the year or period
specified by the commissioners, together with a statement  of
the  facts  in  each  case because of which the authority was
granted.
    The acceptance or refusal by  an  eligible  person  of  a
temporary  appointment  does  not  affect his standing on the
register for permanent appointment.
    All  laborers  shall  be   appointed   by   the   General
Superintendent  and  shall be on probation for a period to be
fixed by the rules, not exceeding one year.
    The deputy chief engineer, the assistant chief engineers,
head assistant attorneys, assistant director of research  and
development,  assistant  director  of information technology,
comptroller, assistant  treasurer  and  assistant  purchasing
agent  shall  be appointed by the General Superintendent upon
the recommendation of  the  respective  department  head  and
shall  be on probation for a period to be fixed by the rules,
not exceeding two years.  At any time during  the  period  of
probation,  the  General Superintendent on the recommendation
of  the department head concerned, may discharge a person  so
appointed  and  he  shall  forthwith notify the Civil Service
Board in writing of such discharge.  If a person  is  not  so
discharged,  his  appointment  shall be deemed complete under
the laws governing the classified civil service.

of  all  the members of such body, to authorize the making of

of money appropriated for one corporate object or function to
another  corporate object or function. Any such action by the
board of trustees shall be entered in the proceedings of  the

reduced below an amount sufficient to cover all  unliquidated
and  outstanding  contracts  or obligations certified from or
against the appropriation for such purpose.
    The board of trustees, by a two-thirds vote  of  all  its
members,  may  transfer  the interest earned on any moneys of
