This resolution highlights that over 25.7 million individuals in the United States have limited English proficiency (LEP) , relying on translation and interpretation services to access vital public and private institutions. Uneven coverage and implementation of language access contribute to significant disparities for these individuals in essential areas such as employment, health, housing, and legal services. Studies indicate that language barriers frequently interfere with LEP individuals' ability to access healthcare, find employment, or apply for government assistance. To address these challenges, the Senate supports recognizing April as "National Language Access Month." This designation aims to affirm the importance of meaningful language access in ensuring equitable participation in federal programs and services. The resolution encourages federal agencies, states, local governments, and community organizations to promote awareness of language access rights and resources, urging the public to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.
