Sonoma County Supervisors have approved a language access policy for non-English speakers. As part of the policy, the County will bolster efforts to provide timely interpretation and translation services to County residents and visitors in their preferred language. The County also committed to using plain language in public communications including writing in short sentences, using simple words, avoiding technical jargon and designing documents for easy reading. The policy also establishes the Office of Equity, in partnership with the County Administrator’s Office, as the administrative agency to assist all County departments and agencies in the implementation of the policy.
