Federal Grants Language Accessibility Act of 2023
This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidance within 270 days of enactment, directing federal agencies to develop plans ensuring individuals with limited English proficiency can access grant information and services. It directly affects all federal agencies administering grants or cooperative agreements under U.S. Code. The key mechanism mandates agencies to create plans that meaningfully provide access to grant information for limited English proficiency individuals while not unduly burdening agency missions, and to improve recipients' ability to provide such access to applicants and beneficiaries. The bill focuses on procedural requirements for accessibility, not new funding or program changes.
