To assist persons with disabilities certified by the Rehabilitation Division of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, the board of county commissioners of each county is encouraged and authorized to make temporary limited appointments of certified persons with disabilities for a period not to exceed 700 hours for each appointment notwithstanding that the positions so filled are permanent positions. A person with a disability who is certified by the Rehabilitation Division must be placed on the appropriate list for which the person is eligible.2.
Each such person must possess the training and experience necessary for the position for which he or she is certified. The Rehabilitation Division must be notified of the request of the board of county commissioners for a list of eligibility on which the names of one or more certified persons with disabilities appear. A temporary limited appointment of a certified person with a disability pursuant to this section constitutes the person’s examination as required by NRS 284.215.3.
The board of county commissioners shall adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of this section.4.
This section does not prevent a county from employing:(a)
A person with a disability if the person is available and eligible for permanent employment.(b)
A person with a disability who is employed pursuant to the provisions of this section in permanent employment if the person qualifies for permanent employment before the termination of his or her temporary limited appointment.5.
If a person appointed pursuant to this section is appointed to a permanent position during or after the 700-hour period, the 700 hours or portion thereof must be included in calculating the employee’s probationary period.
