Making Federal Grants Accessible to People with Limited English Proficiency.
This bill aims to increase access to federal grants and cooperative agreements for individuals who have limited English proficiency (LEP). It requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidance ensuring that information about federal funding is understandable and accessible in other languages. This change helps citizens who do not speak English fluently to apply for and benefit from government programs more easily.
Key points
Federal agencies must develop plans to ensure grant information is accessible to individuals with limited English proficiency.
Organizations receiving federal grants must improve their ability to provide language assistance to applicants and beneficiaries.
