The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) is seeking public input on its revised Language Access Plan (LAP). The LAP aims to provide a clear protocol for NDOW personnel when offering services to individuals with limited English proficiency. This initiative began in 2022 following the establishment of the first-ever LAP as mandated by Senate Bill 318.
NDOW encourages members of the public to submit their comments regarding the plan via email at ndowinfo@ndow.org. The revised plan is available for review online.
The department's mission is "to protect, conserve, manage and restore wildlife and its habitat for the aesthetic, scientific, educational, recreational, and economic benefits to the citizens of Nevada and the United States." Additionally, it aims "to promote the safety of persons using vessels on the waters of Nevada."
Effective communication with all served by NDOW is considered a priority. The department believes that implementing this plan will enhance its ability to fulfill its mission. Public feedback will be instrumental in refining the current plan to better address the needs of individuals with limited English proficiency.
