With the new rules for PA204 getting ready to take effect on July 7th, there are a lot of questions about what they mean and who's affected. MDCR is committed to helping you understand the impact of the rules on you and other stakeholders (schools, physicians, lawyers, and more).

In this space, we will soon have an FAQ, a timeline of when specific provisions of the rules will take effect and more. First up, we've posted a chart designed to help interpreters understand what their specific certification by level qualifies them to do under the new rules. Keep checking back for regular updates.
