Bill Summary

AN ACT to provide for the statewide coordination of meaningful 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 meaningful language access and for denials of meaningful language access based on one?s national origin.

AI Summary

This bill creates the Statewide Meaningful Language Access Coordination Act, which requires the Office of Global Michigan to coordinate steps taken by state agencies (referred to as "covered entities") to provide meaningful language access to public services for individuals with limited English proficiency, as defined in the existing Meaningful Language Access to State Services Act. The bill also establishes a complaint process for individuals who believe they have been denied full and equal access to a covered entity due to their national origin, to be addressed in collaboration with the Department of Civil Rights.
