S 2310 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Respect for Hispanic Americans Act

This bill prohibits federal agencies from using the term "Latinx" in official communications or forms. It directly affects all federal departments and agencies that produce government documents, such as forms, websites, or public notices. The law requires agencies to use alternative terminology instead of "Latinx" in all official written or electronic communications. This is a procedural change to federal language standards, not a policy affecting individuals or communities.
