Requires each State cabinet level department to establish office dedicated to language and disability access.
This bill requires each New Jersey state cabinet department to create a dedicated office focused on language and disability access. It directly affects state departments, employees, and people with disabilities who receive state services or work for the state. The office must develop an access plan aligned with federal disability law, implement communication support (like interpreters and translations), ensure physical accessibility, and submit annual public reports on progress. The office head must be fully dedicated to this role and qualified by experience. The law takes effect six months after enactment, giving departments time to prepare.
