Relating to open captioning for motion pictures

Summary

The bill lets exhibitors that operate eight or more screens in more than one location provide open captioning for movies that are produced with captions, at least twice a week, and requires audio description when a patron asks for it. Smaller theaters, drive‑ins, and venues without the needed digital equipment are exempt. It aims to improve movie accessibility for deaf, hard‑of‑hearing, and visually impaired audiences.
