Bill > HB1052

This bill requires the Missouri Secretary of State's office to provide Spanish-language translations of all printed materials when requested by members of the public. Specifically, the proposed legislation would amend Chapter 28 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section (28.950) that mandates that any printed materials published by the Secretary of State's office must also be made available in Spanish upon request. This provision aims to improve language accessibility for Spanish-speaking residents of Missouri, ensuring they can access the same governmental information and materials as English-speaking residents. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply requiring translation services for existing printed materials without creating additional documentation, and placing the responsibility on the Secretary of State's office to provide these Spanish-language versions when asked.
