Bill 45 Amends Chapter 19, Civil Service Board, of the Codified Ordinances, titled “Rules of the City of Allentown Civil Service Board Governing the Appointment and Promotion of Police Officers and Firefighters” by removing “Failed to register with the Selective Service System” as a disqualifier for the Civil Service Test. The proposed Bill approves the City of Allentown Police and Fire Civil Service Board’s repeal of its Rules that automatically disqualify an applicant for police officer or firefighter from examination for or selection from an eligibility list if the applicant has failed to register with the Selective Service System. The Bill modernizes the Board’s Rules and harmonizes the Rules with both Pennsylvania law and recently enacted Federal law
