(a) For purposes of this section, “Section 211” means the board regulation restricting a dismissed employee from taking civil service examinations, provided for pursuant to Section 211 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations.
(b) The board shall do both of the following:
(1) Provide, by rule, for grant of a blanket waiver under Section 211 that will allow a dismissed employee who meets standards to be determined by the board to apply for any civil service examination, so that he or she will not need a separate waiver for each examination.
(2) Prepare a written notice that explains the effect of dismissal from state employment on eligibility to take civil service examinations, as stated in Section 211, and the process by which a dismissed employee can compete in a civil service examination, including any changes to that process required by this section.
