(a)In order to be eligible to enter an examination for promotion or to receive promotion, a person must have been employed in a competitive class position on a permanent basis in a lower grade, either in direct line of promotion or in a related or collateral line of promotion as determined by the Civil Service Department. The department shall prescribe a minimum period of such service for eligibility to enter a promotion examination, and may also prescribe a minimum period of such service as a qualification for promotion from the resulting eligible list.
(b)Any person who is nominated for noncompetitive examination for promotion to a position and who fails to pass two examinations for such promotion shall not thereafter be eligible for employment in such position, except by appointment or promotion from an eligible list established following competitive examination.
