What’s in it

This bill strikes a requirement that postsecondary institutions with an approved practitioner preparation program administer a subject or performance-based assessment to a student prior to the student’s completion of the program, and concomitantly strikes the requirement that a student achieve a score above the 25th percentile nationally on the assessment in order to successfully complete the program. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to July 1, 2012, for individuals who completed the practitioner preparation program course requirements but failed to achieve the assessment scores necessary to successfully complete the program.
