Relating to the appointment of spoken language interpreters for certain court proceedings.

HB 1748 allows courts in Texas counties with 50,000+ residents to appoint non-certified spoken language interpreters for certain court cases. It specifically applies when the required language is *not* Spanish and no certified interpreter is available within 75 miles, or for justice/municipal courts. The bill changes existing rules to expand interpreter appointment options in these scenarios. It takes effect September 1, 2025. This directly affects courts handling non-Spanish language cases in larger counties facing interpreter shortages.
