  Section  1.  Subdivision  1 of section 61 of the civil service law, as
added by chapter 790 of the laws of 1958, is amended to read as follows:
  1. Appointment  or  promotion  from  eligible  lists.  Appointment  or
promotion  from  an eligible list to a position in the competitive class
shall be made by the selection of one of the three persons certified  by
the  appropriate  civil  service  commission as standing highest on such
eligible list who are willing to accept such appointment  or  promotion;
provided, however, that the state or a municipal commission may provide,
by rule, that where it is necessary to break ties among eligibles having
the  same  final examination ratings in order to determine their respec-
tive standings on the eligible list, appointment  or  promotion  may  be
made  by the selection of any eligible whose final examination rating is
equal to or higher than the final examination rating of the third  high-
est  standing  eligible willing to accept such appointment or promotion.
PROVIDED, FURTHER HOWEVER, THAT THE STATE OR A MUNICIPAL COMMISSION  MAY
PROVIDE, BY RULE OR LOCAL LAW, THAT PROMOTIONS SHALL BE MADE IN DESCEND-
ING  LIST  ORDER  BEGINNING  WITH THE CANDIDATE STANDING HIGHEST ON SUCH
ELIGIBLE LIST WHO IS WILLING TO ACCEPT SUCH PROMOTION. Appointments  and
promotions  shall be made from the eligible list most nearly appropriate
for the position to be filled.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
