(a) Positions subject to competitive
					 examinations. The merit and fitness of applicants for positions which are
					 classified in the competitive class shall be ascertained by such examinations
					 as may be prescribed by the Chief Administrator of the Courts.
(b) Announcement of
					 examination. The Chief Administrator of the Courts shall issue an announcement
					 of each competitive examination, setting forth the minimum qualifications
					 required, the subjects of examination, and such other information as he or she
					 may deem necessary, and shall advertise such examination in such manner as the
					 nature of the examination may require. Such announcement and advertisement
					 shall each inform prospective applicants of the availability of special
					 accommodations for taking of examinations as provided in subdivisions (g) and
					 (h) of this section.
(c) Applications. The Chief
					 Administrator of the Courts shall require prospective applicants for any
					 positions to file, during a prescribed time, a formal application in which the
					 applicant shall state such information as may reasonably be required regarding
					 his or her background, experience and qualifications for the position sought,
					 and his or her merit and fitness for the public service. The application shall
					 be subscribed by the applicant and shall contain an affirmation by him or her
					 that the statements therein are true, and shall bear a form notice to the
					 effect that false statements made therein are punishable under section
					 210.45 of the
					 Penal Law. Blank forms of such applications shall be furnished by the Chief
					 Administrator without charge to all persons requesting the same. The Chief
					 Administrator may require in connection with such application such information

					 eligible:
(i) who is found to
					 lack any of the established requirements for admission to the examination or
					 for appointment to the position for which he or she applies; or
(ii) who is found to have a
					 physical or mental disability which renders him or her unfit for the
					 performance, with or without reasonable accommodation, of the essential
					 functions of the position in which he or she seeks employment, or which creates
					 a significant risk to the health or safety of the individual or of others that
					 cannot be eliminated with reasonable accommodation; or

					 written charges of incompetency or misconduct, after an opportunity to answer
					 such charges in writing, or who has resigned from, or whose service has
					 otherwise been terminated in, a permanent or temporary position in the public
					 service, where it is found after appropriate investigation or inquiry that such
					 resignation or termination resulted from his or her incompetency or misconduct;
					 or
(v) who has
					 intentionally made a false statement of any material fact in his or her
					 application; or
(vi)
					 who has practiced, or attempted to practice, any deception or fraud in his or

					 appointment; or
