2006 Nebraska Revised Statutes - § 71-6057 — License; examination.

Section 71-6057
License; examination.

The examination for a license shall consist of a national standardized examination. The passing score on the examination shall be determined by the board. The department shall give notice of the time and place of the examination in ample time to allow all candidates to comply with the requirements of sections 71-6053 to 71-6068. Prior to each examination the department may prepare a list of applicants who are eligible to take the examination as determined by the board.

The board may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations regarding identification and grading of machine-scored examinations. Every examination shall be passed upon in accordance with the established rules and regulations of the board, and in cases of dispute, a majority of the members of the board shall decide. After each administration of an examination, the board shall certify the grades of the applicants in the manner prescribed by the board. The board shall then issue the proper license and make the required entry in the registry record. All question and answer papers or sheets or photostatic or other copies of such questions and answer papers or sheets connected with any examination for licensure shall be available from the testing service for a period of two years during which time such answer papers or sheets shall be open to inspection by an applicant, by the dean of his or her college, or by any other proper representative of such college as determined by rules and regulations. Any national standardized machine-graded or computer-scored examination questions or answers which are protected by security agreements, copyright provisions, or departmental or state contractual agreements for use shall be available for a period of two years upon demand, from any testing service utilized, at the discretion of the department or upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The board may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations to provide for the review of procedures for development and administration of examinations and to protect the security of the content of examination questions and answers. The board shall not enter into an agreement to adopt an examination from a national testing service without first obtaining from that service detailed documentation of the process of examination development and maintenance.
