HR 485 urges the Federal Communications Commission
to require real-time captioning of all local news,
weather, and sports programming by all television stations around
the country no later than January 1, 2006, and to only provide
exceptions to very small stations that would have to expend more
than 2% of their annual gross income to provide real-time captioning
of their news broadcasts. Advocates who would like to see HR 485
move forward should contact the chair of the House Rules Committee,
Representative Jason Crowell (District #158) and URGE THAT HR 485 BE
VOTED OUT OF HIS COMMITTEE WITH A "DO PASS" RECOMMENDATION.
Representative Crowell can be contacted by calling
573-751-2459, Faxing to 573-522-9289, or sending an e-mail to
Jason.Crowell@house.mo.gov. |
