Part 70 - Security Of Examination Material
Section 70.3 - Property rights to questions

All question sheets, answer sheets and other examination materials furnished to municipal civil service commissions in connection with examination services rendered to such municipal commissions by the Department of Civil Service pursuant to the provisions of section 23(2) of the Civil Service Law are and shall at all times remain the property of the department and subject to the jurisdiction and control of the department. In order to safeguard the security of examination questions in any such examination, all examination question sheets for such examination shall be furnished to the municipal commission in a separate sealed package and shall be opened by such municipal commission, or its duly authorized representative in charge of such examination. All question and answer sheets and other examination materials shall be packaged and sealed by such municipal commission, or its representative in charge of such examination, immediately after the close of such examination and shall be returned forthwith to the Department of Civil Service. The failure or refusal by a municipal commission to observe and comply with the provisions of this Part may be deemed by the president as adequate and sufficient grounds for refusal to furnish any further examination materials or services to such municipal commission.
