STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28237 / SCR102
This resolution promotes the importance of using closed caption for the deaf and hard of hearing simply
by making use of a setting feature available on all modern televisions. Watching television and videos,
viewing educational instructions, or observing urgent emergency news updates are difficult in sound-sensitive
environments. Use of closed captioning assists hearing impaired individuals with a communication option
they do not widely enjoy.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislative proposal represents no fiscal impact on the Idaho State General Fund nor any other governmental
entity because it utilizes an existing feature of a modern television.
