Great turnout for Interpreters United Local 1671 Lobby Day
Also at the Capitol today, dozens of our medical interpreter members of Local 1671 turned out for their lobby day.
The highlight of Interpreters United Lobby Day was meeting with and thanking Sen. Rebecca Saldana of the 37th District, sponsor of the interpreter services bill, SSB 6245.
It’s a good common-sense bill that would expand the reforms that medical interpreters have proved work. They would save money and improve services and availability to clients of other agencies, like Labor and Industries and the Health Care Authority.
SSB 6245 is now in the Senate Ways and Committee where it has until Feb. 6 to pass.
