Health and Safety Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that if you applied, were studying, or were a trainee to become an environmental health specialist before Dec 31 , 1988, you can take the written exam using the rules that were in place on that date.

Key Takeaways

•Only people who were in the program or certified before Dec 31 , 1988 qualify.
•Qualifying groups include applicants, enrolled students, and employer‑certified trainees.
•These people take the exam under the old (1988) rules, not the newer ones.
•The rule was added in 1995 and took effect Jan 1 , 1996.

Example

Maria started an approved environmental health science program in 1987 and is still in it in 1996.

Because Maria began her training before Dec 31 , 1988, the law lets her sit for the written exam using the 1988 requirements, even though the rules have changed since then.
