Chau Bill To Ensure Equal Access To Justice Clears Senate
Sacramento – Today, the Senate passed Assembly Bill (AB) 1127 authored by assemblymember Ed Chau (D–Monterey Park). The bill seeks to provide greater language access in our court system by establishing a working group tasked with advising the Judicial Council in the development of a comprehensive statewide Language Access Plan. The working group would also oversee the implementation of a three year pilot project in three courts to provide interpreters in all civil proceedings.
