Executive Order 13166


The Rural Assistance Center gives information about cultural competence and laws designed to help those that do not speak english.
An Executive Order is an order given by the President to federal agencies. The “LEP” Executive Order 13166 "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency" states that people who are LEP should have meaningful access to federally conducted and federally funded programs and activities. Executive Order 13166 requires all agencies that provide federal financial assistance to issue guidance on how recipients of that assistance can take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access consistent with Title VI and the Title VI regulations. The Order also requires that federal agencies create plans for ensuring that their own activities also provide meaningful access for persons who are LEP.
