94355
. (a) As a condition of doing business in this state, each
postsecondary educational institution governed by Chapter 7
(commencing with Section 94700), and each organization that
administers educational testing for use in the admissions process by
any public or private postsecondary educational institution, shall,
in administering any test or examination, permit any student who is
eligible to undergo the test or examination to do so, without
penalty, at a time when that activity would not violate the student's
religious creed.
(b) This requirement shall not apply in the event that
administering the test or examination at an alternate time would
impose an undue hardship which could not reasonably have been
avoided. In any court proceeding in which the existence of an undue
hardship that could not reasonably have been avoided is an issue, the
burden of proof shall be upon the institution.
(c) This section shall become operative on January 1, 1997.
