The State Commissioner of Personnel is the head of the State Merit
System, which was established in 1920. The title of State Commis-

missioner, who is appointed by the Governor for a six-year term,
administers the Merit System Law, and with the approval of the
Governor, makes such rules as he deems necessary to carry out the
law. Such rules have the force and effect of law.
The purpose of the Merit System Law is to provide candidates for
appointment to positions in the classified service after determining by
practical tests the fitness of such candidates for the positions which

employees.
The State Commissioner of Personnel is also Chairman of the State
