Bill Summary
The proposal would create a new government board focused on helping people who don't speak English access federal services and information. This board would work to ensure that non-English speakers can understand and use government programs, apply for benefits, and communicate with federal agencies without language barriers. The change would affect millions of Americans with limited English skills, federal agencies that serve the public, and organizations that help translate government materials.
