Relating to state agency employment openings and aptitude assessments.
SB 1441 requires the Texas Workforce Commission to create an online system for state agency job applications and standardized aptitude tests. It allows applicants to complete one standardized test online and submit it to multiple state agencies, while informing them they aren't required to take the test. The bill mandates the system list which positions accept the standardized test and defines "standardized aptitude test" as a uniform assessment developed by the state auditor. This directly affects state agency job seekers, the Texas Workforce Commission, and state agencies hiring for classified positions.
