n)
A
facility
shall
make reasonable efforts to have activated at all times
the closed captioning feature on a television in a common area provided for use
by the general public or in a resident's room, or enable the closed captioning
feature when requested to do so by a member of the general public or a
resident, if the television includes a closed captioning feature. As used in
this
subsection (n),
"closed captioning" means a text display
of spoken words presented on a television that allows a deaf or hard of hearing
viewer to follow the dialogue and the action of a program simultaneously.
1)
It
is not a violation of this
subsection
if the closed captioning feature
is deactivated by a member of the facility's staff after
the
feature is
enabled in a common area or in a resident's room unless the deactivation of the
closed captioning feature is knowing or intentional. It is not a violation of
this
subsection
if the closed captioning feature is deactivated by a
member of the general public, a resident, or a member of the facility's staff
at the request of a resident of
the
facility.
Facilities shall
ensure that staff are trained on the requirements of this subsection (n) and
that staff, prior to deactivating a television's closed captioning feature,
confirm with others within the television viewing area of the intention to
deactivate the closed captioning feature. If residents are not in agreement on
deactivating the closed captioning feature, then the closed captioning feature
shall not be deactivated.
2)
If
a facility does not have a television in a common area that includes a closed
captioning feature, then the facility
shall
ensure that all televisions
subsequently
obtained for common areas include a closed captioning feature. This
subsection
does not affect any other provision of law relating to disability
discrimination or providing reasonable accommodations or diminish the rights of
a person with a disability under any other law. Nothing in this
subsection
shall apply to televisions that are privately owned by a resident or third
party and not owned by the facility.
(Section 3-801.2 of the Act)
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A
facility shall post information regarding the availability of closed captioning
on televisions in the facility and shall provide residents with information on
how to activate the closed caption feature.
