Bill Summary
A bill to provide for the statewide coordination of equal language access to state services by individuals with limited English proficiency; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state governmental officers and entities; and to establish a process for submitting complaints and obtaining remedies for lack of equal language access and for denials of equal access based on one's national origin.
AI Summary
This bill creates the "Statewide Equal Language Access Coordination Act," which requires the Office of Global Michigan to coordinate steps taken by state agencies to provide equal language access to public services for individuals with limited English proficiency. The bill establishes a process for the public to report and seek remedies for instances of non-compliance with language access requirements, and allows individuals who believe they have been denied access due to their national origin to file a complaint with the Department of Civil Rights. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment, and is tied to the passage of another bill, Senate Bill No. 382.
