SB435 Introduced
At the request of the Missouri
Commission for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Senator Scott Rupp from Wentzville has introduced Senate
Bill 435, which, if passed, would require that beginning January 1, 2008
manufacturers and publishers of electronic video instructional materials
(CD, DVD, videotape, film, etc) marketed in Missouri caption those
materials. SB 435 is the companion bill to HB 181 that was introduced
by Representative Therese Sander last month.
We have already received over
a hundred e-mails in support of HB 181.
If you would like to see a law passed mandating the captioning of
electronic video instructional materials, and you have not already done so,
please send an e-mail to
MCDHH@mcdhh.mo.gov indicating your support
for HB181 / SB435. Those e-mails will be presented to legislators at the
committee hearings for these bills.
