An Act amending Title 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in selection of employees for entrance to or promotion in classified service, providing for additional points in grading civil service examinations of applicants with disabilities.

Pennsylvania's SB 593 adds five extra points to civil service exam scores for applicants with disabilities who voluntarily disclose their disability and provide required documentation. This applies to state and local government job openings requiring civil service exams, affecting applicants who meet the definition under Pennsylvania's Human Relations Act. The bill requires the civil service commission to publicly advertise this policy on its website and in exam materials. It does not mandate disclosure but ensures eligible applicants with disclosed disabilities receive the score adjustment to determine their ranking on hiring lists.
