Wash. Admin. Code § 10-08-045 - Adjudicative proceedings - Notice to limited-English-speaking parties
(1) When an agency
is notified or otherwise made aware that a limited-English-speaking person is a
party in an adjudicative proceeding, all notices concerning the hearing,
including notices of hearing, continuance, and dismissal, either:
(a) Shall be written in the primary language
of the party; or
(b) Shall include
a notice in the primary language of the party which describes the significance
of the notice and how the party may receive assistance in understanding and
responding to the notice.
(2) For purposes of this chapter, the term
"limited-English-speaking person" means any person involved in a legal
proceeding who cannot readily speak or understand the English language. The
term has the same meaning as "non-English-speaking person" as defined in
RCW
