The GA in the PCA passed an overture that requires the Ruling Elder to be examined for their Bible knowledge. Previously, they were examined for their knowledge of the WCF and BCO. I am unsure if the overture detailed out the specifics in the examining.

That is a step, but will probably not change much in that the Session is the only court examining the potential Elder. I'm sure the questioning will be quite different from church to church.
