About New York State's Language Access Policy - Previously, New York State's Language Access Policy was mandated by executive order 26.1<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fwww.ny.gov-252Flanguage-2Daccess-2Dpolicy-26data-3D05-257C01-257CMatthew.Canuteson-2540omh.ny.gov-257Cd578263d605f4d871da008da32c7d1a1-257Cf46cb8ea79004d108ceb80e8c1c81ee7-257C0-257C0-257C637878131079643096-257CUnknown-257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0-253D-257C3000-257C-257C-257C-26sdata-3DfJZV75MeuqfVW32Z4-252BwxqR-252F-252BNfepWB-252F-252BVwzcUM2qNoA-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=U92g5iPlAgKH_N4kpS-_Y1W3mtsaPGoWcet8KfFin98&m=TEF5WQFG6n-rTTKFTFCoiB-buoqAryt8ntRs3pehmpU&s=B6KnVUrR1ccC1z1O_ceLPb0B0_XWbyb-XQs3MbPOOhs&e=>, but now New York State's language access policy is codified by law - Section 202 - a (see attachment). The most significant change from Executive Order 26.1 is that executive state agencies must translate vital documents into the top 12 languages spoken by the limited English proficient population in New York State. The law also provides state agencies the authority to translate to four additional languages based on the community the state agency serves. This law takes effect on July 1, 2022.
