Language Access & Accessibility In New Jersey Government
Last updated: July 23, 2025 11:06 am
In 2024, New Jersey adopted a law mandating language translation and interpretation services across state government entities. The passage of this legislation represents an important step toward ensuring that state programs, services, and resources are accessible to all New Jersey residents.
The law requires all state government entities that provide direct services to the public to provide interpretation services and to translate vital documents into at least seven of the most common non-English languages spoken in New Jersey.
