HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 145

Whenever the appointing authority of any agency, com-
mission, department, institution or other employing au-
thority of any other political sub-division of this State
shall have made reasonable efforts to employ persons eligi-
ble for employment in any position in any agency, commis-
sion, department, institution or other employing authority
of any other political sub-division of this State and has
been unable to obtain any person eligible to fill such
vacancy, said appointing authority shall be authorized to
advise the Director of Parole and Probation of the vacancy
so existing and to request him to determine if, among the
inmates of any penal institution of the State there may be
found persons who are otherwise qualified for conditional
release and are capable of filling such vacancy. "Condi-
tional release, " as used in this Act, shall mean a conditional
commutation of sentence, a conditional pardon or a parole,
as the case may be.

Upon the receipt of such request from the appointing
authority, whether from any agency, commission, depart-
ment, institution or other employing authority of this
State or of a political sub-division thereof, said Director
shall obtain from the Department of Correction the names
of such prisoners as it may deem qualified to perform the
required services; and thereafter said Director shall certify
to such authority the names of such of said prisoners as
he may find are suitable for such conditional release and
possess the qualifications necessary for performing the
duties of such vacant positions. From the list so certified,
said appointing authority may select the prisoner who, in
his opinion, would be most qualified for such position and
shall advise said Director of such selection. Upon being
advised of such selection, said Director shall recommend
to the Governor the conditional release of such prisoner for
the purpose of filling such vacant position. Said Director
shall in every case recommend whether the prisoner shall
receive a conditional commutation of sentence or a condi-
tional pardon or a parole and shall specify the conditions
of any parole, commutation of sentence or pardon that he
may recommend for the purpose hereinbefore specified. To
aid in the proper selection of such prisoners, said Director
shall, with the approval of the Governor, adopt such
policies, procedure and standards as may be necessary and
proper.

The Governor, acting upon the recommendation of said
Director, shall be authorized to grant the conditional re-
lease of such prisoner for such purpose and shall there-
upon deliver to said Director a written order which shall
