Language Access Rulemaking Authority Amendment Act of 2026

This bill amends the Language Access Act of 2004 to grant the Mayor of the District of Columbia the authority to create specific rules that enforce the law's requirements for language access. By adding a new provision to the existing statute, the legislation allows the Mayor's office to issue regulations that clarify how government agencies must provide services and documents in languages other than English. The changes apply retroactively to the date the original Language Access Act took effect and will become official after the Mayor signs the bill and a thirty-day congressional review period concludes.
