Kentucky Adult Education, Council on Postsecondary Education, has filed amendments to the GED Testing Program regulation, 785 KAR 1:010. The proposed amendment would increase the GED tests fee over a three-year period to help test centers remain financially viable. The fee would increase from $40 to $50 in year one, $55 in year two and $50 in year three. Fees for partial testing or retesting would increase from $10 to $25 in the first year, remain at $25 the second year and increase to $30 in the third year. The first increases would take effect on July 1, 2009.
