VeraLink / GovernmentLive now

For government and public agencies

Every resident hears the same obligation.

City councils, school boards, state agencies, correctional programs, and public hearings, live in the languages of the people in the room. The terms that carry rights and deadlines are marked and held to reviewed meanings, with a record behind your Title VI language access work.

Title VI

Title VI still applies.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 still prohibits national origin discrimination by every agency, district, and nonprofit that receives federal funds. Since 2025, federal guidance and enforcement have narrowed.3 The statute has not.

Many states, counties, and cities also have language access laws of their own.1, 2

VeraLink adds live meaning protection in the room, and a record afterward:

  • A transcript in every language the room used
  • The reviewed term set behind every marked word, with its version and reviewer
VeraLink supports your language access work. It does not replace qualified interpreters where the law requires them. Talk with your counsel about what your program requires.
