No department or commission of the State government shall regularly employ an alien.
However, physicians or other qualified health personnel required to have specialized
or graduate training, each of whom has filed a declaration of intention to become

shortage of engineers may employ not more than 10 qualified aliens, each of whom has

1953, as amended, or paroled in under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952,
for a period not to exceed five years from date of appointment as a State employee,
in engineering positions in the Agency of Transportation to expedite the surveying,
designing, and construction of Vermont highways and bridges. The Department of Development
may employ outside the classified service aliens in any office located outside the
United States, providing the individuals so employed are citizens of the nation in
