Feds readying movie theater regulations for blind and deaf patrons

2013-09-16

[THEHILL] The B.O. regime is nearing completion of a proposal to require that movie theaters offer technology so blind and deaf people can go to the cinema. The draft rule, which is part of a decades-long effort by advocates for people with disabilities, would likely require thousands of movie theaters across the country to offer devices that display closed captioning and provide audio narration of what's happening onscreen.

But theater owners worry that a federal mandate will force small, rural and struggling theaters to close given the costs associated with the rule.
