Bill > H195

This bill requires operators of movie theaters, specifically those using cinematographs or similar projectors that can handle 35mm or larger film, digital media, or polarized devices for 3D images, to inform customers about potential image quality issues. If a polarized device, typically used for 3D movies, is instead used to project a 2D film, the theater must post a notice in a visible area, include it in a phone recording announcing showtimes, and display it on their website or similar online platforms before a ticket is purchased. This notice must state that the film is shown using a polarization device which can make the projected image darker and potentially alter how the film was originally intended to be viewed. The commission of public safety will be responsible for setting a fine of at least $500 for each violation and creating a system for customers to report any breaches of this requirement.
