The bill, H.B. No. 4838, mandates the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to employ a language access coordinator to assess and identify gaps in access to health and human services programs and 2-1-1 services for non-English speakers. This assessment must be conducted as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, with a written report summarizing the findings and providing recommendations due to the executive commissioner within one year of the coordinator's employment.

Additionally, the bill establishes a sunset provision, stating that it will expire on June 1, 2027, and it will take effect on September 1, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance language accessibility in critical services, ensuring that non-English speakers receive adequate support and resources from the state's health and human services programs.
