recommends an assessment of language access needs in the legislative process in a manner determined by the Executive Committee. This assessment should prioritize feedback from limited English proficiency communities, stakeholders, language experts, and data analytics. This assessment should identify high impact areas for accessibility improvement, explore cost effective options like automation and translation tools, and incorporate a phased and scalable approach to allow growth as resources expand. The assessment should include an analysis of practices shared by other states, detailing available services, and indicating whether Colorado currently provides comparable support. This assessment should include public engagement through focus groups, town halls, and multilingual surveys to gather community insights. This approach will provide a robust structure for continuous improvement in language access across Colorado's legislative processes.

The LAP should include a plan for implementation, which may establish a centralized language access office, or identify a responsible staff, to coordinate services across legislative agencies, allowing each to tailor plans to their specific roles and needs. Key plan components should include identifying widely spoken languages in Colorado, prioritizing translation of essential legislative documents, and ensuring compliance with ADA and Title VI by providing interpreting and translation services, including sign language, for public and legislative sessions. Additionally, the LAP should be scalable, expanding services based on community demand and available resources and it should include regular assessment of language needs using census and other demographic data. This plan will create a more inclusive and accessible legislative process for all Coloradans.","vote_result":"The motion passed on a vote of 5-3.","vote_moved":"Rutinel","vote_seconded":"Gonzales","member_votes":[{"member_id": "MB002","title": "Representative","full_name": "Mary Bradfield","vote":"No"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Giovanna Carriero-Contreras","vote":"Yes"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Natalie Castle","vote":"Excused"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Christy Chase","vote":"Excused"},{"member_id": "ML002","title": "Representative","full_name": "Mandy Lindsay","vote":"Yes"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Felix Lopez","vote":"Excused"},{"member_id": "JR002","title": "Senator","full_name": "Janice Rich","vote":"No"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Ivon Romo","vote":"Yes"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Rudy Santos","vote":"No"},{"member_id": "","title": "","full_name": "Jose Torres","vote":"Excused"},{"member_id": "JG002","title": "Senator","full_name": "Julie Gonzales","vote":"Yes"},{"member_id": "MR001","title": "Representative","full_name": "Manny Rutinel","vote":"Yes"}],"number_yes":5,"number_no":3,"number_absent":0,"number_excused":4,"final_action":"PASS"},{"bill_num":"Consideration of Recommendations","url":"https://www.leg.state.co.us/CLICS/CLICS2024A/commsumm.nsf/0/4E7F491402713CEA87258BD300788323?OpenDocument","vote_time":"11/12/2024 02:56:18 PM","vote_motion":"The board recommend that the ballot information booklet (\"Blue Book\") be made more accessible to residents with limited English proficiency by expanding both distribution and translation options. first, the legislature should continue automatic distribution of bilingual English Spanish Blue Books to all Voting Rights Act counties. For other counties, access to bilingual Blue Books should be available upon request through accessible options like a QR code, a request postcard within the English-only Blue Book, a hotline, or an online form. Additionally, the legislature should consider a robust online option to access translated versions of the Blue Book on demand which could supplement print distribution and help manage costs.
