If a law enforcement position vacancy is filled by promotion, the commissioner may administer an examination that is open to all employees of the division who meet the requirements outlined in the class specifications. The commissioner shall then prepare a certificate of eligibles and shall supply the appointing authority with the names in accordance with § 55:10:04:04. Selection shall then be made by the appointing authority in accordance with chapter 55:10:04 and shall be reported to the commissioner. However, a law enforcement agency may adopt another procedure for the purpose of filling a vacancy by promotion and, if the agency does, the agency shall notify the commissioner of the process and shall report the selection to the commissioner.
