Summary

Existing law imposes various requirements on a test agency, as defined, with respect to the administration of standardized tests for purposes of postsecondary education, and requires a test sponsor to submit certain information and data to the California Postsecondary Education Commission. A test agency that intentionally violates any of those provisions is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $750 for each violation. Existing law authorizes a test agency to cancel or invalidate a test score where substantial evidence exists to support cancellation or invalidation of the test score. This bill would require a test sponsor to also submit specified information that is required to be submitted to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, or its successor entity, to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and would authorize the submission of that information in digital format. The bill would, until January 1, 2017, require a test agency to submit a report, on or before March 1 of each year, to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and to the Legislature that contains specified information on test scores that were canceled or invalidated in the prior year.
