New Jersey A4230 requires movie theaters to provide effective communication devices for individuals with visual or hearing impairments.

The number of devices required depends on the number of auditoriums showing digital movies. Movie theaters must also ensure that staff is available to assist patrons with the equipment and distribute the devices at no additional fee.
