Massachusetts S63 mandates closed captioning in public areas of places open to the general public.
Massachusetts S63 amends Chapter 25C of the General Laws to require closed captioning in telecommunications in public areas of places open to the general public. Specifically, it mandates that places of public accommodation keep closed captioning activated on any closed-captioning television receiver in use during regular hours. Exceptions apply if no television receiver is available or if the only available receiver is not a closed-captioning television receiver.
