CA Educ Code Section 94904


(a)

Except as provided in subdivision (c), before an ability-to-benefit student may execute an enrollment agreement, the institution shall have the student take an independently administered examination from the list of examinations prescribed by the United States Department of Education pursuant to Section 484(d) of the federal Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1070a et seq.). The student shall not enroll unless the student achieves a score, as specified by the United States Department of Education, demonstrating that the student may benefit from the education and training being offered.

(b)

If the United States Department of Education does not have a list of relevant examinations that pertain to the intended occupational training, the bureau may publish its own list of acceptable examinations and required passing scores.

(c)

The bureau shall, on or before July 1, 2016, review the list of examinations prescribed by the United States Department of Education. If the bureau determines there is no examination on the list appropriate for ability-to-benefit students with limited English proficiency, the bureau shall approve an alternative examination for these students. When approving the alternative examination, the bureau may consider the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System examination.
