Welcome!
The Office of Language Access (OLA) provides centralized oversight, coordination, and technical assistance to State agencies (the executive, legislative and judicial branches of Hawai‘i’s state government) and organizations that receive state funding, regarding the implementation requirements of Hawai‘i’s Language Access Law.
The goal of the OLA is to ensure that no person is denied access to State or State-funded services due to their limited ability to speak, read, write or understand the English language.
Announcements and Upcoming Events
Language access issues were discussed on the PBS Hawaii television program "Island Insights" on December 4, 2008. See the video of this program, "Civil Rights and Language Access."
The next Language Access Advisory Council meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2009 from 9:00 am to 10:30 am at the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Director's Conference Room #320. See the agenda.
