Bill	Standardized testing: inadequate or improper test conditions.	Existing law imposes various requirements on a test sponsor, also known as a test agency, 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. Existing law provides that these requirements do not apply to instances where the cancellation of all test scores results from the complete disruption of the administration of the test, such as by natural disasters, national emergencies, inadequate or improper test conditions, answer sheet printing errors, or testing agency errors.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20132014	SB 915	California SB 915 (20132014)	bill	Standardized testing: inadequate or improper test conditions.	enacted	Hill	7	26	5	2014-01-27	2014-08-22	openstates	ocd-bill/e81fc2be-a028-48ff-ad25-f17c02427e06	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB915	88c80b402f76050278f2d6a6424d1d7c96c3984d34a0b9ac7e7039e51b876737	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
