My State (or Region) Established Laws (or Policies) Requiring Certifications That No Longer Exist What Does That Mean?

This might result in limited access or denial of interpreter services.  It is best to contact such organizations and find out how access to ADA protected services will be impacted.

Outdated polices favoring heavily biased (often-obsolete) certifications are a roadblock to ADA protected citizens obtaining the most appropriate interpreter accommodations.

NRQPIC llc supposes such laws were intended* to provide additional protection to consumers of interpreting services.  The unintended* result of some of these these laws is that skillful and ethical Qualified Professional Interpreter Services are often denied to the individuals whose access to Interpreter Services is protected by the ADA regardless of whether the consumer of ADA protected Interpreter Services self-identify as Deaf, deaf, hearing-impaired, hard-of-hearing (or any other category requiring ADA Interpreter services).

If you live in an area where outdated Interpreter Certification policies or legislation actually prevents ADA protected consumers of interpreting services  from  obtaining access to skillful, ethical, proven, endorsed and nationally certified interpreters, The National Registry of Qualified Professional Interpreter Certifications llc urges you to affect change to such laws and policies to help ensure quality without restricting access to Qualified Professional Interpreter Services.

*NRQPIC llc presumes all legislative intentions have been only to further ensure ADA protected individuals to obtain the access to the most skillful and ethical Qualified Professional Interpreter services available.
