The Court Interpreters Advisory Panel (CIAP) proposes amendments to the California Court Interpreter Credential Review Procedures to incorporate a standardized skills assessment process for addressing skills-based complaints and to authorize the issuance of disciplinary letters, when warranted, as an intermediate corrective action. The proposal integrates a structured, third-party skills assessment into the credential review process when a complaint is received and a court interpreter’s competence or performance is in question. The proposed updates would also authorize the Judicial Council’s Court Interpreters Program (CIP) to issue a disciplinary letter to an interpreter, when appropriate, as an intermediate step before further action is taken. These updates are intended to improve consistency, objectivity, and proportionality in the evaluation and resolution of complaints.
