H 468 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to language access

This bill requires Vermont state agencies to provide language access services, such as translated materials, bilingual staff, or contracted interpreters, when they serve a significant number of people with limited English proficiency. It directly affects state agencies that interact with the public and aims to ensure these agencies can communicate effectively with non-English speakers. The law would amend existing statutes to mandate these services based on the volume of individuals needing language assistance.
