Summary

Existing law uses the term "hearing impaired," or a close variation of that term, in numerous provisions. This bill would replace the term "hearing impaired" with the term "hard of hearing," or a close variation of "hard of hearing," and would make additional technical, nonsubstantive changes in those provisions.
