It's A Victory For Both Interpreters & Workers Alike
In Octover, 2014 Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1376. The emergency legislation sponsored by VIAW will allow thousands of Californians hurt on the job to have access to certified interpreters during medical visits.
Hundreds of qualified interpreters in the state will now be able to gain certification, thanks to an extended deadline of March 1, 2014, created by the law for obtaining state certification. The measure, a subject of legislative visits, calls, and letters by injured workers and interpreters late in the 2013 legislative session, marks a major success for the statewide coalition.
Approval by the governor came on the last day of his consideration of bills sent by the legislature. As evening descended on the state, it drew jubilance and appreciation.
