At this month’s meeting we will discuss
Open Captions in Movie Theaters status

A statewide effort to encourage movie theaters to provide open captions has been underway for the past year.
We will provide an update on the status of the legislative bill and movie theaters that are now providing open captions.

Open captions are displayed on the screen and everyone in the theater can see the captions. You do not need any special equipment to see the captions.
