States findings of the Legislature and encourages the activation of closed captioning on television monitors in public venues.
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.
