BroadcastCaptioning-Laws&Guidelines The bill, the Television Decoder Circuitry Act, was passed in 1990 by the U.S Congress. This allowed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to draft new rules for the broadcasting industry to include closed captions for all videocontent. Thisbillwas a huge leap inestablishingan equal opportunity for the hard of hearing people, as it was passed the same year astheAmericanswithDisabilitiesAct(ADA). WWW.CAPTIONINGSTAR.COM

  4. FCCestablished closed captions as mandatory in1998 forall videoprograms, especially for news, entertainment, and information to all individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This necessitated all video programming distributors (VPDs) – cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors, and other multi-channel video programming distributors to caption all of their TV programs. FCC states that closed captionsneedtobeaccurate,synchronous,complete,andcorrectlyplaced. In addition, a new act was passed in October 2020 by President Barrack Obama by the name, CVAA – Communications and Video Accessibility Act. This act was passed to ensure the accessibility laws are on par with 21st century technologies like digital, broadband, and mobile innovations. CVAA includes separate titles which lay out the guidelinesforvideoprogramming.
