All state government employees must be proficient in the state official language (SOL). Those who cannot provide school certificates to prove that they studied the SOL at school shall be required to pass a language examination before appointment. Level of the examination shall be commensurate with job duties. State government must set up, may be, three or four levels of examinations for different job categories. In general, if the job requires high school education or higher then the employee must be proficient at least at the high school level. There shall be no exceptions.

>>>No. Private businesses need to figure out the cost-benefits on their own. If the language hurts them, it is a price they pay. Regardless, there shouldn't be any governmental interference in this.
