Bill overview
The Greater Access and Independence through Nonvisual Access Technology Act (GAIN Act) directs the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) to develop minimum accessibility standards for home medical devices, exercise equipment, and appliances. These standards aim to ensure that devices are usable by blind consumers through non-visual means like screen access technology, tactile markings, or audible tones. The bill establishes a process for the Access Board to research, consult with stakeholders, and ultimately create and enforce these standards, with penalties for non-compliance.
