Summary

Existing law imposes various requirements on a test sponsor or test agency, as defined, with respect to the administration of standardized tests for purposes of postsecondary education. Existing law provides that a test sponsor that intentionally violates these provisions is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $750 for each violation. This bill would require a test sponsor to provide alternative methods to verify a test subject's identity and to clearly post on the test sponsor's Internet Web site contact information for test subjects who cannot provide the required identification and need further assistance. A violation of these requirements would subject a test sponsor to the above civil penalty. The bill would allow a test sponsor to require test subjects to obtain approval from the test sponsor in advance of the registration test deadline in order to be admitted to the test with an alternative form of identification.
