§ 1364 Prohibition Removal Additional Tests

• •You can't be fired from a government job just because you didn't pass an extra test or meet an extra rule that wasn't there when you started.
• •This only applies if you already took the oath for your job or promised to take it after being hired.
• •The extra test or rule must not be part of the normal civil service or retirement rules.

A teacher gets hired by a public school and takes the required oath. Later, the school district says all teachers must pass a new test to keep their jobs.

The teacher can't be fired just for not passing this new test if it wasn't required when they started. The law protects them because they already took the oath and the new test isn't part of the normal hiring rules.
