18720.1. The department shall be responsible for the collection and review of all employment forms used by state agencies for civil service employment and for the development of standard employment forms for general use by all state agencies. The department may designate an appointing power to review employment forms in accordance with Section 18654 and board rules. Each state agency shall use the standard forms. However, the department, or an appointing power designated by the department, may approve the use of a nonstandard form by a state agency if the information requested on the form is job-related and the forms and procedures to be used conform with federal and state law governing employment practices. Copies of nonstandard forms approved by a designated appointing power shall be transmitted to the department. Nonstandard forms proposed by a state agency shall be accompanied by a petition submitted by the agency which specifies the reasons why a nonstandard form is necessary to meet the agency’s needs.
