Questions

Title VI Plan and Language Access Plan: what people ask

Do we still need a language access plan after the 2025 order?

Executive Order 14224 made English the official language and revoked EO 13166 on limited English proficiency. It says agencies aren't required to stop offering documents or services in other languages and tells the Attorney General to rescind the old guidance. Check what your funding agency still asks for.

Does Title VI still cover disparate impact?

DOJ's Title VI regulation no longer has its disparate-impact paragraph: 28 CFR 42.104(b)(2) is now reserved, and the facility-siting rule covers only choices made for a discriminatory purpose. The statute still bars excluding or discriminating against anyone based on race, color or national origin.

Who do subrecipients report to?

Under DOT's Title VI rule, every recipient keeps records and files timely compliance reports when asked. When a primary recipient, such as a state DOT, passes federal money on, the subrecipient sends its compliance reports to that primary recipient.
