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


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2026, Arambula. Standardized testing: 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.


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 Matricula Consular de
Alta Seguridad (Consular Matriculation of High Security), issued by
the government of Mexico through one of its consular offices within
the last five years, as a valid form 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
Matricula Consular de Alta Seguridad issued by the government of
Mexico through one of its consular offices within the last five
years.
