California AB667 requires boards under the Department of Consumer Affairs to allow interpreters for non-English speaking applicants taking license.

AB667 mandates that boards under the Department of Consumer Affairs permit non-English speaking applicants to use interpreters for license examinations, provided the applicant meets all other competency requirements. By July 1, 2026, these boards must include a section in license applications asking applicants to identify their preferred languages. Starting July 1, 2027, boards must annually review applicants' language preferences and determine if a substantial number of non-English speaking applicants require interpreters.
