CaliforniaCourts: court interpreters.
What it does
The Trial Court Interpreter Employment and Labor Relations Act (the act) establishes procedures governing the employment and compensation of certified and registered trial court interpreters and court interpreters pro tempore employed by the courts to perform spoken language interpretation. Under existing law, these provisions do not apply to sign language interpreters.

This bill would make the provisions of the act applicable to sign language interpreters. The bill would specify that spoken language includes American Sign Language for purposes of these provisions.
