There is already a shortage of qualified interpreters; who do not currently meet the recommended change to a level 3. If this is mandated then the schools will lose even more interpreters to colleges or interpreters will lose a job. Think about how many more problems the schools will then face if this happens.
Don't change the level. I happen to know some incredible interpreters who love their job, who are not at level 3 or equivalent. Tonight I am their voice. I do not support the change for interpreters.
