What’s in it

This bill allows an employer that employs a person to provide interpreting or transliterating services to the employer’s employees to be licensed by the board of sign language interpreters and transliterators. The bill also allows a person employed by an employer licensed pursuant to Code chapter 154E (interpreters and transliterators) to provide interpreting and transliterating services to the employer’s employees without receiving an individual license to practice. However, the bill requires such a person to meet the requirements for individual licensure. The bill requires the board to adopt rules for the process of applying for, granting, suspending, reinstating, renewing, and revoking a license issued to an employer.
