We Did It. HB 1153 Passed!

Interpreters United (WFSE) members lobbied elected officials, made phone calls, and testified in the Legislature. 

The result? 

House Bill 1153 bill was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support!

This bill will make it easier for parents with limited English proficiency help their children succeed in school as well as create more work opportunities for interpreters with no extra credentialling cost.

When we work together, we can accomplish anything!
