What changed in the latest version
3 added · 3 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes made to SB 80 involve removing specific references to "telephone" and "impaired" subscribers, replacing them with broader terms like "telecommunications" and "disabled." This update aims to make the language more inclusive, reflecting advancements in communication technology that go beyond traditional telephone services. By ensuring that the focus is on all telecommunications services, the legislation better accommodates various methods of communication used by individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech disabled. This is important as it helps ensure all disabled subscribers have equal access to communication resources.
