Bill information
Summary
A bill to increase access to Federal grants for individuals with limited English proficiency.
Plain-language summary
This bill aims to improve access to federal grants for people who have limited English language skills. Federal grants are money that the government gives to organizations, schools, and individuals for specific purposes. The bill would require federal agencies to provide grant information and applications in languages other than English. This would help non-English speakers understand and apply for available federal funding. The bill was introduced in 2023 by Senator Jon Ossoff but has not yet advanced through the review process.
