Language access rules in Georgia

Court interpreter program: Judicial Council of Georgia Standing Committee on Court Interpreters, created in 2021 as successor to the Supreme Court of Georgia Commission on Interpreters, which licenses court interpreters and keeps the statewide Interpreter Roster with staff support from the Administrative Office of the Courts' Office of Court Professionals.
Court-certified languages: Since January 1, 2024, Georgia licenses legal interpreters in four designations (master licensed legal interpreter, licensed legal interpreter, conditionally licensed legal interpreter, and apprentice), which replaced the former Certified, Conditionally Approved, and Registered Interpreter lists. Performance exams vary by language, and candidates in languages without a National Center for State Courts exam may qualify through an oral proficiency interview or other recognized credentials; ASL interpreters are licensed in the same tiers through RID or NAD credentials.
The rule: The Rules for Legal Interpreting in the State of Georgia (effective January 1, 2024) apply to all criminal and civil proceedings with non-English-speaking persons in need of interpreters, and the judicial bench cards state that Title VI and Georgia law require courts to provide qualified interpreters to LEP participants, who cannot be required to arrange or pay for their own; under the ADA and O.C.G.A. 24-6-650 to 24-6-658, courts must provide auxiliary aids such as qualified sign language interpreters to deaf and hard of hearing participants, and O.C.G.A. 15-1-14(a) gives the Supreme Court authority to set rules for court interpreters.
Title VI duty for all court-managed functions: The Rules for Legal Interpreting require all court-managed functions, including information counters, filing offices, sheriff's offices, probation and parole offices, pro se clinics, diversion programs, and detention facilities, to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Team and Deaf interpreters: Rule 5-5 calls team interpreting the recognized best practice and recommends it for long or complex assignments, and Rule 5-4 provides that when a Deaf Interpreter and a team are both required, the team consists of no fewer than four interpreters; these Article V appointment recommendations are not binding on courts.
No statewide pay scale: Rule 2-3 provides that there is no uniform, statewide compensation system for language interpreters, while the Official Code of Georgia Annotated governs compensation of sign language interpreters.
Child support agency language access: Georgia DCSS Policy 16.0 requires staff to provide meaningful access to limited English proficient and sensory impaired customers, citing Title VI and O.C.G.A. 24-6-650 to 658, and directs local and state offices to inform customers of free language assistance.
Official language: Georgia designated English its official language by 1986 Session Resolution 70, but Attorney General Opinion 95-44 concluded the resolution neither mandates exclusive use of English nor prohibits other languages, leaving the Department of Public Safety to decide whether to keep offering driver's license exams in other languages.
Refugee program: The Georgia Department of Human Services, through the Division of Family & Children Services, administers the federally funded Refugee Program, with a State Refugee Coordinator and contracted support services delivered through refugee voluntary agencies.
