| 13 | in the classified service of the fire and police

| 20 | by the board of fire and police commissioners in
determining | |||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | the position of such persons on any eligibility list which has | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | been
created as the result of any examination for original | |||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | entrance for purposes of
preference in certification and | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | appointment from such eligibility list. The
board shall strike | ||||||
| 2 | off the names of candidates for original appointment after
such | ||||||
| 3 | names have been on the list for more than 2 years. | ||||||
| 4 | (b) All persons who, on or after the effective date of this | ||||||
| 5 | amendatory Act
of 1993, have been paid-on-call certified | ||||||
| 6 | firefighters II, paramedics, or any
combination of those | ||||||
| 7 | capacities, of the municipality shall be awarded 0.5 point
for | ||||||
| 8 | each year of successful service in one or more of those | ||||||
| 9 | capacities, up to a
maximum of 5 points at the time of | ||||||
| 10 | examination for original appointment to the
classified service | ||||||
| 11 | of the fire department. Certified firefighters III shall be
| ||||||
| 12 | awarded one point per year up to a maximum of 5 points. | ||||||
| 13 | Applicants from
outside the municipality who were employed as | ||||||
| 14 | full-time firefighters or
firefighter-paramedics by a fire | ||||||
| 15 | protection district or another municipality
for at least 2 | ||||||
| 16 | years shall have the same preference as paid-on-call personnel.
| ||||||
| 17 | These additional points presuppose a rating scale totalling 100 | ||||||
| 18 | points
available for the eligibility list. If more or fewer | ||||||
| 19 | points are used in the
rating scale for the eligibility list, | ||||||
| 20 | the points awarded under this subsection
shall be increased or | ||||||
| 21 | decreased by a factor equal to the total possible points
| ||||||
| 22 | available for the examination divided by 100.

| 24 | subsection shall be
required to claim that preference or credit | ||||||
| 25 | before an examination
is held. The preference shall be given | ||||||
| 26 | after the posting or publication of the
eligibility list. To | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | qualify for the preference, applicants who are eligible
for | ||||||
| 2 | credit under this subsection shall make a claim for that | ||||||
| 3 | credit, in
writing, within 10 days after the posting of the | ||||||
| 4 | eligibility list, or the claim
shall be deemed waived. Upon | ||||||
| 5 | request by the board of fire and police
commissioners, the | ||||||
| 6 | governing body of the municipality or (in the case of
| ||||||
| 7 | applicants from outside the municipality) the governing body of | ||||||
| 8 | any fire
protection district or any other municipality shall | ||||||
| 9 | certify to the board of
fire and police commissioners, within | ||||||
| 10 | 10 days of the request, the number of
years of successful | ||||||
| 11 | paid-on-call service of any person. A candidate may not
receive | ||||||
| 12 | preference points under this subsection if the amount of points | ||||||
| 13 | awarded
would place the candidate before a veteran on the | ||||||
| 14 | eligibility list.
