(a) The commission may issue a certificate of noncompliance if the affirmative action plan required by section 46a-68 is disapproved.
(b) The issuance of a certificate of noncompliance shall bar the agency, department, board or commission in noncompliance with section 46a-68 from filling a position or position classification by hire or promotion upon receipt of the certificate, the provisions of any state law or regulation to the contrary notwithstanding, until: (1) The commission determines that the agency has achieved compliance with section 46a-68 and withdraws the certificate; or (2) the commission, at a hearing requested by the agency, department, board or commission receiving the certificate and conducted by a presiding officer appointed by the chairperson of the commission, is unable to show cause why the certificate of noncompliance should not be rescinded or a court, upon appeal, so determines; or (3) the Commissioner of Administrative Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management certify to the commission that the agency in noncompliance with section 46a-68 requires immediate filling of the vacancy because failure to fill the position or position classification will cause an emergency situation to exist jeopardizing the public welfare. A separate certificate of exemption shall be required for each vacancy in a position or position classification with respect to which the Commissioner of Administrative Services and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management certify that an emergency situation exists.
(c) Hearings under this section shall be conducted in accordance with sections 4-176e to 4-182, inclusive.
