SB435 (Captioning of Educational
Videos)
Voted Do Pass by the Senate Committee
Good news! SB 435, sponsored
by Senator Scott Rupp of Wentzville,
was voted “Do Pass” by the Senate Commerce, Energy and
Environment Committee on 3/1/07. If enacted into law, SB 435 would
require that beginning January 1, 2008, publishers or manufacturers of
electronic video instructional materials offered for adoption or sale to
educational institutions in Missouri must provide either closed or open
captioning on such materials. If a publisher fails to comply with the
captioning requirements, the entity that purchased the materials may
receive damages of 10 times the amount paid to have them captioned.
We will keep you informed regarding the progress of SB 435. |
