This bill mandates a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to assess the accessibility of government services for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have hearing differences. The study will evaluate compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act regarding effective communication and identify barriers faced by these individuals when interacting with state and local government entities. It will also seek to develop strategies for improving communication and will involve input from various stakeholders, including relevant government departments, professionals, and community members.

At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, including any necessary legislation to implement these recommendations. This initiative aims to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of government services for individuals with hearing differences, ensuring their needs are adequately addressed.
