Bill > HB89

This bill, the Closed Captioning Act, requires places of public accommodation that display television programming to activate closed captioning on all television receivers that are turned on and operating in public areas during regular business hours, with some exceptions. The bill defines key terms such as "closed captioning," "place of public accommodation," and "television receiver." It also establishes an enforcement mechanism, empowering the Attorney General to investigate complaints, bring civil actions against violators, and impose civil penalties of up to $250 for the first violation and $500 for each subsequent violation.
