The main purpose of this legislation is to provide funding to states for the establishment and improvement of Seal of Biliteracy programs. These programs aim to recognize students who demonstrate high proficiency in both English and a second language. The legislation also supports early language programs that can help students achieve this proficiency. Key provisions of the legislation include the awarding of competitive grants to states for developing these programs. States must create criteria for assessing student proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in both languages.
