    5  insert:
    6         Section 24. Subsections (9) and (10) of section 1008.22,
    7  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
    8         1008.22 Student assessment program for public schools.—
    9         (9) CONCORDANT SCORES.—The Commissioner of Education must
   10  identify scores on the SAT, and ACT, the Spanish language
   11  College Assessment and Admission Test (PEAU), and the revised
   12  version of the Spanish language University Admission Test (PAA)
   13  which that if achieved satisfy the graduation requirement that a
   14  student pass the grade 10 statewide, standardized Reading
   15  assessment or, upon implementation, the grade 10 ELA assessment.
   16  The commissioner may identify concordant scores on assessments
   17  other than the SAT, and ACT, PEAU, and PAA. The commissioner may
   18  waive passage of the grade 10 ELA assessment for students who
   19  earn the identified concordant scores on the PEAU or PAA. If the
   20  content or scoring procedures change for the grade 10 Reading
   21  assessment or, upon implementation, the grade 10 ELA assessment,
   22  new concordant scores must be determined. If new concordant
   23  scores are not timely adopted, the last-adopted concordant
   24  scores remain in effect until such time as new scores are
   25  adopted. The state board shall adopt concordant scores in rule.
   26         (10) COMPARATIVE SCORES FOR END-OF-COURSE (EOC)
   27  ASSESSMENT.—
   28         (a) The Commissioner of Education must identify:

   30  assessment. If the content or scoring procedures change for the
   31  EOC assessment, new comparative scores must be determined. If
   32  new comparative scores are not timely adopted, the last-adopted
   33  comparative scores remain in effect until such time as new
   34  scores are adopted; and.
   35         2. Comparative scores on the PEAU and the PAA assessments
   36  for the EOC assessments required under paragraph (3)(b). If the
   37  content or scoring procedures change for an EOC assessment, the
   38  commissioner must identify new comparative scores. If new
   39  comparative scores are not timely adopted, the last-adopted
   40  comparative scores remain in effect until such time as new
   41  scores are adopted.
   42         (b) The state board shall adopt comparative scores in rule.
