AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to allow a non-English speaker to provide their own interpreter to assist them during a legal proceeding if a qualified or certified interpreter is not reasonably available, leading to a delay. The interpreter provided by the non-English speaker must be approved by the judge and is subject to the same provisions as other court interpreters.
