Relates to providing language translation services to accommodate census self-reporting

This bill requires New York state agencies and localities to provide language translation services for census self-reporting beyond what the U.S. Census Bureau offers, directly affecting limited English proficiency communities. It mandates the Department of State to identify and expand translation services (including all languages used in census forms), connect agencies with these services, and require public notification of availability through online posts and community outreach. State agencies must report annually on translation service usage and improvements to state leaders starting in 2028. The law takes effect April 1, 2027, ensuring accessible census participation for non-English speakers.
