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.
