Gov. Code, § 19242.2

The department or its designee shall create a referral list containing the names of persons with disabilities who meet eligibility criteria for participation and the minimum qualifications of the job classification and any other requirements deemed appropriate by the board to be used by appointing powers for examination appointments. Such a referral list shall be combined with other employment lists for the same classification using the procedure described in subdivision (a) of Section 19057.1, unless the appointing power requests use of the alternative procedure set forth in subdivision (b) of that section. Notwithstanding any other law, if the eligibility list is obtained pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 19057.1, the list of candidates provided to the hiring manager may identify those who are qualified through the Limited Examination and Appointment Program. Notwithstanding any other law, and to provide for appropriate job-person placement, all candidates meeting referral requirements shall be eligible for examination appointment.
