A state plan would make health and human services easier to get in your own language
What it does
SB 346 would create a language access plan for Texas health and human services programs. The plan is meant to increase access to assistance for people who speak a language other than English. The bill text has not been published yet, so the agencies, programs, and languages it would cover are not public right now.
What it means for your community
If you rely on state help from a health or human services program, this bill aims to make that help easier to get in the language you speak best. It could matter most for families who speak little English when they visit a state office. Until the bill text is public, it is not clear which local offices or programs would have to follow the plan.
