INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Arambula

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2010

   An act to add Section 99155 to the Education Code, relating to
postsecondary education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2026, as amended, Arambula. Standardized testing: 
matricula consular:  Matricula Consular:  valid
identification.
   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 accept a Matricula
Consular de Alta Seguridad issued within the last 5 years as a valid
form of identification for purposes of admitting a test subject to
take a standardized test administered by the sponsor  and would
prohibit a test sponsor from requiring any additional form of
identification if the test subject presents a valid Matricula
Consular de Alta Seguridad  . A violation of this requirement
would subject a test sponsor to the above civil penalty.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 99155 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   99155.   (a)    A test sponsor shall accept the

Security)  ,  issued by the government of Mexico through one

of identification for purposes of admitting a test subject to take a
standardized test administered by the sponsor. 
   (b) A test sponsor shall not require any additional form of
identification to admit a test subject to take a standardized test
administered by the sponsor, if the test subject presents a valid
