Bill overview
This bill, the Health Communication Access and Resources for Everyone Act of 2023, directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a standardized graphic symbol to clearly indicate when linguistic access materials and services (like interpretation and translated documents) are available for health programs, products, and services. The goal is to improve access to healthcare for people with limited English proficiency by making it easier to find and understand available resources. The bill also outlines a process for designing and testing the symbol, as well as a plan for educating stakeholders and incorporating the symbol into HHS communications.
