right, so why the sudden need for a law about it? I imagine that during the various influxes of non-english speakers, people made decisions on a case-by-case basis (e.g., texas, vra) about whether they needed to produce documents or what have you in a different language -- sometimes yes, I'd think, for smooth functioning; often no.
eta re: made-up problem -- there isn't a problem with having to do stuff in different languages, to the extent we do so now, so the law isn't addressing that problem. the law is thus being proposed for another purpose or purposes -- what do you think it or they might be? think hard, spanky, I suspect this won't come easy to you.
