Relates to providing adequate access to information for certain individuals

This bill requires New York's social services department to create a plan ensuring people with limited English proficiency (LEP) and others needing communication assistance can access services. It mandates translating key documents into the 12 most common non-English languages in the state (based on census data) and offering interpretation services on request. The law also requires providing communication support for individuals with disabilities affecting hearing, vision, speech, or cognition. These provisions apply to social services programs and aim to improve accessibility for vulnerable populations.
