Recommended Rule Changes

The following changes were reviewed and recommended by both ESAC and the Inspector Committee. They will go before the Commission for proposal in November.

Verifying Identity

After discussion, ESAC recommends amending 星空体育app下载 Rule 535.65 to say providers must verify student identification at class sign up and before every class meeting, rather than the current requirement of checking the photo ID. ESAC is making this recommendation to reduce potential security concerns and open the rule to other ways providers can verify a student鈥檚 identity.

Exam Proctoring

ESAC recommends removing proctoring requirements from 星空体育app下载 rules out of concerns that the requirements were burdensome and unnecessary, including in the context of course examinations because the licensing examination itself is proctored. The committee removed new language in the draft rule that would have required a monitor for every 20 students participating in a qualifying or non-elective continuing education classroom delivery course delivered through the use of technology.

Meeting Materials

The meeting video, agenda, and red-lined materials relating to the above rule recommendations can be viewed and downloaded online.

ESAC will meet again January 6, 2025.
