So this is a good thing?

It shouldn't effect the student, it's just another thing the instructor has to keep in mind.
Terry, thanks for letting me know. My student is nearing his required hours so I'm starting to think about when I should test him out.

No problem Daniel. I had you and Ken in mind when I posted this.

Just as Daniel said it doesn't effect students. The new rule effected me as I was hoping to get home to Florida for the 4th. We got into Springfield Monday and neither myself or my FM knew about the new rule. So after Monday when my psd was doing very well after 4 hours pad time I had my FM schedule the test for today and I was thinking I'd be able to leave tonight or tomorrow if my student had to retest something. Low and behold with the new rule my psd isn't scheduled until Friday now. So much for being home for the holiday =/

Hey there all. This post is meant for any current prime trainers and their PSD's. Last Monday 6/29 the state had started requiring 48 hours notice to sign your students up to test. This is up from the previous 24. They also want a list of potential testers 5 days prior to testing. So keep that in mind when your PSD is nearing their 75 hours. You'll need 48 hours now instead of telling your FM the day before. I got this info today from an examiner at morning roll call. I told my FM yesterday to schedule for today but didn't get confirmation from him so I went to roll call anyway and found out about the new rule. This is coming from the federal level as they're trying to make testing requirements the same across all 50 states.
