    1    Section  1.  The president of the state civil service commission shall
    2  cause a study to be performed to analyze how the use of a career portfo-

    4  diversity,  recruitment  and  hiring of minorities in the public sector.
    5  Such study shall consider the account portfolio application  process  in
    6  other states or in other countries and it shall examine how such process

   12  cation is a collection of tangible materials that represent work-related
   13  events and accomplishments in a candidate's life.
