Section 35IAC2-9-5. Local determination and transfer to PERF

   (a) The examining physician shall send the results of the comprehensive general medical history and physical examination to the local board.

  (b) Once the local board determines that the candidate satisfies any physical and mental standards established by the appointing authority or the local board, the baseline statewide physical examination, and the baseline statewide mental examination, the local board shall send PERF the following:

(1) Copies and certification of the results of the general medical history and baseline statewide physical examination required under IC 36-8-8-7 and IC 36-8-8-19.

(2) Certification of the results of the physical agility examination required under IC 36-8-3.2-3 or IC 36-8-3.2-3.5.

(3) Certification of the results of the baseline statewide mental examination required under IC 36-8-8-7 and IC 36-8-8-19.

  (c) The local board shall submit the certification of the results of the baseline statewide physical examination within six (6) months of the date of the examination. If INPRS receives the certification of the results of the baseline statewide physical examination more than six (6) months from the date of the examination, the local board has not met the requirements for the transfer of the local determination under 35 IAC 2-9-5 [this section]. However, if the date of an applicant's baseline statewide physical examination is more than six (6) months prior to the date the certification of the baseline statewide physical examination is received by INPRS, the applicant may petition INPRS to accept the certification. Such petition must be in writing signed by the petitioner and provide the reason why such certification should be accepted. Upon review of the petition, INPRS in its sole discretion shall determine whether to accept or reject the certification.
