The proposed Bill No. 6477 aims to enhance access to state agency services for individuals with limited English proficiency by mandating the development and implementation of a comprehensive translation plan. Specifically, the bill requires the Commissioner of Administrative Services to create a plan for the review and translation of all necessary printed or electronic forms and applications into the twelve most common non-English languages, as identified by the latest American Community Survey. This plan must be updated every two years to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that all state agencies must adopt and implement this translation plan, also updating it biennially. Furthermore, each agency is required to appoint a language access coordinator to collaborate with the Department of Administrative Services, ensuring compliance with the established plan. This initiative is designed to improve accessibility and support for non-English speaking residents seeking vital records and identification documents, thereby promoting inclusivity within state services.
