U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

Language Access for Individuals with Limited English Proficiency

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will hold a briefing on Friday, March
21, 2025, to examine the extent to which language barriers impact access to
government services and healthcare for individuals with limited English
proficiency (LEP). The investigation will explore how government agencies
and recipients of federal funding provide language access, the challenges
of language access, and best practices for improving language access...

At this public briefing, the Commission will hear from subject matter
experts such as language access researchers and attorneys, federal and
state government officials, community advocates, and impacted persons. The
Commission will accept written materials from the public for consideration
as we prepare our report; submit to languageaccess at usccr.gov no later than
April 21, 2025.
