In some instances, scores are voided for reasons that render individuals ineligible for certification in Illinois. When an individual is found to have violated a condition of testing with the intent of falsifying his or her identity or unfairly affecting his or her performance in the current or a future test administration, the violation shall be taken as evidence that the individual is not of good character as required by Section 21-1 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5/21-1]. 1) In addition to voiding of the person’s score on the test at which the violation occurred, any other score achieved by the person during the same test administration shall be voided, and the individual shall be ineligible for any future certification testing in Illinois. 2) A person who is subject to this subsection (g) shall be ineligible to receive any certificate in Illinois. 3) If a person who is the subject to this subsection (g) already holds any Illinois certificate, the State Superintendent of Education shall initiate the suspension or revocation of that certificate as provided in Section 21-23 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5/21-23].
