. If a promotional examination was held while an employee was
on military leave that he or she would otherwise have been entitled
to take, the employee shall be eligible to take the identical
promotional examination within five years of the date of the original
examination. The department or designated appointing authority shall
arrange for him or her to take the examination within a reasonable
time, provided application is made not later than six months after
his or her reinstatement from military leave. If the employee
qualifies in the examination, his or her name shall be placed on the
open and promotional list that resulted from the original
examination, as the list stands at the time his or her name is placed
thereon. If his or her rating is sufficiently high for his or her
name to have been included on a certification to a permanent position
while he or she was in the military service had his or her name been
on the list when originally established, his or her eligibility
shall be established, notwithstanding the removal of names from the
original list pursuant to Section 18901. He or she shall retain his
or her place on the list for three years from the termination of his
or her service with the Armed Forces or one year from the date the
eligibility is established, whichever is later. A name thus retained
on a list, beyond the time other names are removed from the list
pursuant to Section 18901, shall be removed if the person refuses to
accept appointment to a permanent position after certification
thereto subsequent to his or her discharge from the Armed Forces, or
if he or she resigns from state service.
