Ethics & California LawQuestion 329 of 484

Historically, BPC §7344 governed the appointment of examiners for the practical exam. Following California's 2022 reform:

a.Examiners must be licensed dentists
b.Examiners have replaced the BBC entirely
c.The practical exam has been eliminated, so the examiner role is no longer needed for hands-on testing; written exam delivery is handled by the BBC's testing vendor
d.Examiners now visit each salon weekly

Explanation

BPC §7344 once provided for appointing practical-exam examiners. After AB-1310/SB-803 eliminated the practical exam in 2022, the practical examiner role is no longer used for testing; the BBC's contracted testing vendor (PSI) administers only the written exam.
