A resolution expressing support for the recognition of April as "National Language Access Month".

National Language Access Month: This resolution would designate April to spotlight the need for culturally competent translation and interpretation across federal, state, and local programs. It notes about 71 million people speak a language other than English at home and about 25.7 million have limited English proficiency, cites how language barriers affect health care, employment, benefits, housing, and contact with law enforcement, and encourages federal agencies, states, localities, and community groups to promote awareness and hold observances that affirm meaningful language access.
