Ethics & California LawQuestion 329 of 484

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

a.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
b.Examiners now visit each salon weekly
c.Examiners must be licensed dentists
d.Examiners have replaced the BBC entirely

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.
