Gov. Pritzker Signs Language Equity and Access Act
Governor JB Pritzker signed SB3762, the Language Equity and Access Act, into law. The bill requires the Governor’s Office of New Americans (ONA), in partnership with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), to craft, implement and oversee statewide language access requirements. The legislation seeks to ensure that language proficiency is not a barrier for Illinoisans seeking to access state agency resources.
