House Bill No. 6477 mandates the Office of the Governor to create a plan by January 1, 2026, for the review and translation of forms and applications necessary for accessing services or benefits from executive branch state agencies. This includes vital records and identification documents, which must be translated into the twelve most common non-English languages spoken by individuals with limited-English proficiency in the state, as identified by the latest American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau. The bill aims to improve accessibility for individuals whose primary language is not English.

The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as indicated in the fiscal note. Additionally, House Amendment "A" modifies the original bill but maintains the same fiscal implications. The act is set to take effect upon passage, and the new legal language introduced includes definitions for "individual with limited-English proficiency," "vital record," and "identification document," while no existing legal language is deleted.
