As used in this section, "professional  employee" has the same meaning as in section 5126.20 of the  Revised Code and "registered service employee" means a service  employee, as defined in section 5126.20 of the Revised Code, who  is registered under section 5126.25 of the Revised Code. 
County boards of developmental disabilities may hire  professional employees and registered service employees in the  classified service on the basis of the candidates' qualifications  rather than on the basis of the results of a civil service  examination, as described in division (D) of section 124.23 of the  Revised Code.
