Latest version.

  • (a)

    Any person, who is a resident of the city of Bridgeport and has served in the armed forces of the United States in time of war and has received therefrom an honorable discharge, and who is not eligible for disability compensation or pension through the veteran's administration, shall have five points added to his earned rating on any examination held for the purpose of establishing an original employment list for said city. Any such person shall be entitled to such additional five points on any promotional examination, provided he shall receive at least a minimum passing grade on such examination.

    (b)

    Any such person with a service-connected disability which is substantiated by record or other sufficient documentary evidence on any such examination shall have ten points added to his earned rating, provided such disability shall not make it physically impossible for him or her to perform the required duties and functions of the employment for which he or she seeks classification on any employment list.

    (c)

    Any such person, having a service-connected disability, shall be exempt from so much of any physical examination required under the provisions of this act as concerns such disability, provided such disability shall not make it physically impossible for him or her to perform the required duties and functions of the employment for which he or she seeks classification on any employment list, or any subsequent eligibility list arising therefrom.

    (d)

    The names of veterans described herein shall be placed upon the lists of eligibles for appointment under the civil service act of said city in the order of such augmented ratings.

    (e)

    In addition to such other person as shall be entitled to the privileges and benefits provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this section, such privileges and benefits shall be extended, subject to such other conditions and limitations as therein provided, to those residents of the city of Bridgeport who have served as members of the armed forces of the United States during the period from June 25, 1950, to the date of the termination of hostilities as fixed by the United States government.
