184.28 EXAMINATION.
    Subdivision 1. Manager's license exam; counselor's license exam. Every applicant for an
employment agency manager's license or a counselor's license shall, before the department issues
a license, be required to take and successfully complete a written examination conducted by the
department or its authorized representative of such nature and scope as will be sufficient in the
judgment of the department to establish the competency of the applicant to operate and conduct
an employment agency or to perform services as a counselor for such agency. The examination
for a license to manage an employment agency shall be more exacting and shall require a higher
standard of knowledge as to the fundamentals of operating an employment agency and of the law
and rules pertaining thereto, than that for a counselor's license. No examination shall be required
for the renewal of any license unless such license has theretofore been revoked or suspended.
Provided, however, that any licensee having been licensed to conduct an employment agency or
as a counselor in the state of Minnesota who shall fail to renew the license within 90 days after the
date of expiration may be required by the department to again take an examination.
    Subd. 2. Exam time, place, and fee. The department shall hold such examinations at such
times and places as it shall determine. An examination fee of $20 shall be paid by each applicant
in addition to the license fee, which examination fee shall be retained by the department whether
or not the applicant passes the examination. The examination fee shall be forfeited if the applicant
does not take the examination within six months of the application date. The examination fee
of $20 shall cover the costs of preparing and printing the examinations and the cost of giving
each person taking the examination a copy of the latest rules. Rules shall be kept on the premises
readily available to the counselor, manager, or agent.
