A bill to provide that Executive Order 13166 shall have no force or effect, to prohibit the use of funds for certain purposes, and for other purposes.

This bill, introduced in 2005, seeks to nullify Executive Order 13166, which requires federal agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide services in languages other than English for individuals with limited English proficiency. If enacted, the legislation would prohibit the use of federal funds to enforce any executive order that establishes a right to receive government services in a non-English language. For citizens and residents, this would mean that federal agencies and programs—such as hospitals or local government offices receiving federal grants—would no longer be required by executive mandate to provide translated documents or interpretation services.
