So they want to standardize training and mandate an exam that requires an 80% passing score. Forgetting for the moment that this is essentially nothing more than an unconstitutional literacy exam before being allowed to vote, having to take another exam and prove proficiency will be seen by most California legislators as a continuation of the Firearm Safety Certificate test (and so this will likely pass).
The devil will be in the details, though - they could make the exam crazy expensive to take, even as the bill limits it to a "reasonable" fee. They could also make it incredibly difficult to pass. Because there will undoubtedly be law-related questions, they can make them as difficult as the Multi-state Bar Exam questions that basically require a law degree and a months-long intensive study program. What will give this teeth is the mandated waiting periods after each successive failure.
The new record-keeping and instructor certification requirement I'm not all that concerned about - most reputable training outfits (and certainly an outfit from which I would take training) already does most of this anyway, but now they must do so at the point of a gun.
