Requires motion picture theaters with over ten showings per week to provide open captioning for at least one quarter of their showings.

New York Assembly Bill A04628 mandates that motion picture theaters offering more than ten showings per week must schedule at least one quarter of their showings with open motion picture captioning. This requirement applies to movies with four or more showings in a week. The bill defines "open motion picture captioning" as the on-screen display of dialogue and non-speech information. It also outlines exceptions, such as for movies produced without open captioning, and penalties for violations. The bill does not apply to municipalities with stricter captioning requirements.
