Language Access Bills – Senate Bills 382 and 383, House Bills 4720 and 4721

These bills would facilitate equal access to state departmental and agency services for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) with leadership for this duty placed with the Office of Global Michigan (OGM). The bills require agencies to provide sufficient in-person and other oral interpretation, and the translation of vital documents in areas where LEP populations exceed 3% of the total population or 500 or more people are served by a particular office. Each agency would designate a staff member responsible for reporting to the OGM and responsible for language access within their agency and report every two years to the OGM.

MIRC supports these bills, and was pleased to have provided technical assistance in the development of these bills, and similar versions introduced in previous sessions.
