Each  municipal  civil  service   commission  shall  prescribe,  amend  and  enforce  suitable  rules  for   carrying  into  effect the provisions of this chapter and of section six   of article five of the constitution of the state of New York,  including   rules   for   the  jurisdictional  classification  of  the  offices  and   employments in the classified service under its  jurisdiction,  for  the   position   classification   of   such   offices   and  employments,  for   examinations  therefor  and  for  appointments,  promotions,  transfers,   resignations  and  reinstatements  therein,  all  in accordance with the   provisions of this chapter. Nothing in this chapter  or  any  other  law   shall be construed to require that positions in the competitive class be   specifically  named or listed in such rules, or that the salary grade to   which a position in any jurisdictional class is allocated  be  specified   in such rules.2.  Procedure for adoption of rules. Such rules, and any modifications   thereof, shall be adopted only after a public hearing, notice  of  which   has  been published for not less than three days, setting forth either a   summary of the subject matter of the proposed rules or modifications  or   a  statement  of  the  purpose thereof. Except for the city of New York,   notice shall be given to any person or agency  filing  written  request,   such  request  to  be renewed yearly in December, for notice of hearings   which may affect such person or agency. Such notification shall be  made   by  mail  to the last address specified by the person or agency at least   thirty days prior to the public hearing. Unless  otherwise  provided  by   statute,  a  fee  consisting  of the cost of handling and postage may be   charged for  such  notice.    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  this   subdivision,  however,  notice  and public hearing shall not be required   upon the adoption or modification of a rule which is required by  reason   of a change in any statute in order to conform the rule to such statute.   The  rules  and  any  modifications  thereof  adopted  by a county civil   service commission or county personnel officer or by  a  regional  civil   service commission or regional personnel officer shall be valid and take   effect  only  upon  approval of the state civil service commission.  The   rules and any modifications thereof adopted  by  a  city  civil  service   commission or city personnel officer shall be valid and take effect only   upon  approval  of  the mayor or a deputy mayor designated in writing by   the mayor, such designation to be filed in  the  offices  of  the  state   civil service commission, and the municipal civil service commission, or   city  manager or other authority, as the case may be, having the general   power of appointment of city officers and employees, and the state civil   service commission; provided, however,  that  where  the  mayor,  deputy   mayor  or city manager, or other authority, as the case may be, fails to   approve or disapprove a rule or modification thereof within thirty  days   after  the  same  has  been  submitted to him, such rule or modification   thereof shall be deemed to  be  approved  by  him.  The  rules  and  any   modifications   thereof   adopted  by  a  suburban  town  civil  service   commission in such a town described in subdivision four of  section  two   of  this  chapter  or personnel officer of such a suburban town shall be   valid and take effect only upon approval  of  the  state  civil  service   commission.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, when a   resolution  of  a municipal commission submitted to the state commission   for approval includes a provision  proposing  the  classification  of  a   position  in  the  exempt  class, the state commission, if it determines   that such position should properly be classified in the  non-competitive   class,  may  amend  such  provision,  with  the consent of the municipal   commission, to classify such position in the non-competitive  class  and   approve  such  resolution  as  so amended. Any such rule or modification   thereof shall be filed with the secretary of state  within  thirty  days    after final approval thereof by the state civil service commission. Such   rules  shall  have  the  force  and  effect  of  law when filed with the   secretary of state.3.  State  civil  service  commission  to promulgate rules.   Upon the   establishment of a municipal or regional civil  service  commission,  or   the  office  of municipal or regional personnel officer, it shall be the   duty of such commission or personnel officer, upon appointment, to adopt   and procure the approval of the rules herein  provided  for,  and,  upon   failure  to  do  so within sixty days after appointment, the state civil   service commission shall forthwith make such rules.
