Revises current State agency language survey requirements under the Dymally-Alatorre Act to require not only a survey of the language needs but also an assessment every two years utilizing various recent data sources and community input to understand the needs of limited-English-speaking individuals. The bill also expands the definition of “substantial number of non-English speaking people” to include individuals who are eligible to served instead of just served by an agency. Held on Suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
