California AB2341 mandates local agencies to translate emergency information into languages spoken by at least 5% of the population who speak English.
California AB2341 requires local agencies to provide emergency information in languages spoken by at least 5% of the population who speak English less than "very well." This requirement is based on data from the American Community Survey or an equally reliable source. Local agencies must ensure that translated information is as comprehensive, actionable, and timely as information provided to English-speaking individuals. The Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation will survey local agencies every three years to assess compliance with this requirement.
