Executive Order 3035

Section I of Civil Service Rule XI is amended to read as follows:

1. A person separated without delinquency or misconduct from a competitive position, or from a position which he entered by transfer or promotion from a competitive position, may be reinstated in the department or office in which he formerly served, upon certificate of the Commission, subject to the following limitations:
   
   

   (a) The separation must have occurred within one year next preceding the date of the requisition of the nominating or appointing officer for such certificate; but this limitation shall not apply to a person who served in the Civil War or the War with Spain and was honorably discharged, to an army nurse of either war or the War with Germany, or to the widow of a person who served in any of these wars and was honorably discharged.
   
   

   (b) No person may be reinstated to a position requiring an examination different from that required for the position from which he was separated without passing an appropriate examination.

This amendment is recommended by the Civil Service Commission to make uniform the provisions applying to army nurses and widows of persons who served in any war and were honorably discharged.
