Bill overview
This bill requires certain medical facilities and health care providers in Nevada counties with populations of 20,000 or more to ensure that individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing receive effective communication services. Specifically, facilities must notify these individuals about the availability of sign language interpreters (in-person or remote), provide interpreters upon request, and make other necessary accommodations. The bill also establishes requirements for remote interpreter use and mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services maintain a list of assisted living facilities and senior living communities that cater to deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
