The Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) is the responsible agency for a new license requirement for sign language interpreters. This rule does not supersede DPI licensure for educational interpreters in K-12 settings, however it may have an impact on how to provide interpreting services for adults in school settings. Please see the DSPS – FAQ at: http://www.drl.wi.gov/docview.asp?docid=1016&locid=0. If you have questions regarding this license requirement, please send them to DRLBoards@drl.wi.gov. - (10/25/11)
