Bill Summary

This resolution asks the federal government to officially recognize April as "National Language Access Month" to raise awareness about the importance of providing services and information in multiple languages for people who don't speak English fluently. The measure highlights how language barriers can prevent immigrants, refugees, and non-English speakers from accessing healthcare, education, legal services, and government benefits. If approved, it would encourage government agencies, schools, and organizations to promote programs that help break down these communication barriers.
