Scottish Languages Bill: business and regulatory impact assessment
Business and regulatory impact assessment for the Scottish Languages Bill. This is legislation which seeks to advance the status of, and provision for, the Gaelic and Scots languages.
Enforcement, Sanctions and Monitoring
The Scottish Government does not anticipate any new burdens for businesses, local authorities or the third sector generated by the proposals in regard to enforcement, sanctions or monitoring. Under the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 local authorities which have Gaelic Language Plans must submit annual monitoring reports to Bòrd na Gàidhlig and this process will continue, albeit with Bòrd na Gàidhlig reporting directly to the Scottish Parliament rather than the Scottish Government.
