REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS AND TIERING STATEMENT
Contact Person:
Sara Boswell Janes
(1) Provide a brief summary of:
(a) What this administrative regulation does:
Establishes the requirements to obtain a temporary license as an Interpreter for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
(b) The necessity of this administrative regulation:
This administrative regulation is necessary to set the process and minimum certification testing scores for temporary licensure and establish an expiration date for certifications.
(c) How this administrative regulation conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
KRS Chapter 309 requires the board to verify the qualifications of and establish a procedure for the temporary licensure of persons who wish to practice in the state as a Licensed Interpreter for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. This administrative regulation establishes the minimum qualifications and supervision requirements for temporary licensure and the expiration date for certifications.
(d) How this administrative regulation currently assists or will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
This administrative regulation informs the applicants of the examinations required, minimum test scores, and supervision requirements for obtaining temporary licensure from the board.
(2) If this is an amendment to an existing administrative regulation, provide a brief summary of:
(a) How the amendment will change this existing administrative regulation:
The amendment: 1. Clarifies the proper application for temporary licensure; 2. Requires that the temporary licensee have a board-approved "supervisor" rather than "mentor" in compliance with the requirements of KRS 309.312(3); 3. Adds the CASLI Generalist Knowledge Exam (CGKE) which is the current exam administered which replaces the NIC Knowledge Exam, which was retired on January 1, 2021, and retired with the CGKE. However, the Board will still accept passage of the NIC for applicants who took the exam prior to 2021; 4. Clarifies that the EIPA Knowledge Exam is appropriate only for those working in the K-12 school setting; 5. Strikes reference to CDI preparation since CDI is too limiting, does not have enough courses and is only offered every two (2) years and replaces it with CE focused on general interpretation and ethics; 6. Strikes reference to an assessment (SCPI) that is no longer available and increases certain skill assessment scores to ensure proper knowledge for protection of the public served; 7. Strikes language allowing the Board to grant additional extensions of temporary licensure under extenuating circumstances; 8. Strikes the language relating to the number of supervisees a supervisor may have to place the language in a new regulation relating only to supervision; 9. Inserts appeal rights for a denial; 10. To add regulations relating to extensions to the regulation relating to temporary licensure; and, 11. Updates the MIR.
(b) The necessity of the amendment to this administrative regulation:
The amendment is necessary in order to: 1. Clear up confusion on the proper form to use for temporary licensure applicants; 2. To be consistent with KRS 309.312(3) requiring supervision rather than a mentor; 3. To list current examinations for licensure eligibility based on the current examinations offered for certification; 4. To increase the score to ensure individuals with EIPA Knowledge Exam passage-only have more proficiency and are limited to the K-12 school setting, the setting that assessment of skills is designed for and which is not an appropriate assessment of skills for someone working with the general public; 5. To remove courses that are not widely available and which make licensure too limiting and replace them with courses that are more readily accessible to increase opportunities for licensure; 6. To increase assessment scores and thus the level of proficiency in interpreting before issuance of a temporary license in an effort to protect the public; 7. To strike language relating to extensions of the temporary license for extenuating circumstances since this led to extensions beyond the five (5) years authorized in Section 2.(1) and (2). Further, the Board felt the authorization for extension under extenuating circumstances was too subjective; 8. To strike all reference to reinstatement of temporary and put all regulations relating to supervision of a temporary licensee into one regulation rather than having them in multiple regulations; 9. To provide clarification on appeal rights for a denial of temporary licensure; 10. To add regulations relating to the extension of a temporary license so all regulations relating to temporary licensure are together and to reduce confusion. This was also a recommendation made by the Policy Committee; and 11. To update the MIR based on the amendments to the regulation.
(c) How the amendment conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
KRS 309.304(1) requires the board to evaluate the qualifications for applicants for licensure and establish procedures for the issuance of temporary licenses. KRS 309.312 requires applicants to meet current certification standards from a nationally recognized organization at the requisite level for sign language interpreters. The amendment clarifies multiple items for the proper administration of temporary licensees.
(d) How the amendment will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
This amendment will clear up substantial confusion experienced by applicants in ensuring the proper form is used and the proper application of the credential, and allow to update the certifications that have expired to ensure licensees have up to date skills.
(3) List the type and number of individuals, businesses, organizations, or state and local governments affected by this administrative regulation:
There 45 temporarily licensed interpreters and an unknown number of future applicants.
(4) Provide an analysis of how the entities identified in question (3) will be impacted by either the implementation of this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change, if it is an amendment, including:
(a) List the actions that each of the regulated entities identified in question (3) will have to take to comply with this administrative regulation or amendment:
This administrative regulation requires applicants to complete the current application for licensure as the first step of obtaining temporary licensure as an interpreter. This application will require licensees to obtain current certification in sign language skills and have higher scores for certain exams to qualify for temporary licensure.
(b) In complying with this administrative regulation or amendment, how much will it cost each of the entities identified in question (3):
The board does not anticipate any additional cost to the applicants affected by the amendment.
(c) As a result of compliance, what benefits will accrue to the entities identified in question (3):

(a) Initially:
It will not cost the administrative body any additional funds to implement this administrative regulation.

(8) State whether or not this administrative regulation establishes any fees or directly or indirectly increases any fees:
