A facility
shall
make reasonable efforts to have activated at all times the closed
				captioning feature on a television in a common area provided for use by the
				general public or in a resident's room, or enable the closed captioning feature
				when requested to do so by a member of the general public or a resident, if the
				television includes a closed captioning feature. As used in this
subsection (l)
, "closed captioning" means a text display of spoken
				words presented on a television that allows a deaf or hard of hearing viewer to
				follow the dialogue and the action of a program simultaneously.
1)
It is not a violation of this
				subsection if the closed captioning feature is deactivated by a member of the
				facility's staff after the feature is enabled in a common area or in a
				resident's room unless the deactivation of the closed captioning feature is
				knowing or intentional. It is not a violation of this
subsection
if the closed captioning feature is deactivated by a member of the
				general public, a resident, or a member of the facility's staff at the request
				of a resident of the facility
. Facilities shall ensure that staff are
				trained on the requirements of this subsection (l) and that staff, prior to
				deactivating a television's closed captioning feature, confirm with others
				within the television viewing area of the intention to deactivate the closed
				captioning feature. If residents are not in agreement on deactivating the
				closed captioning feature, then the closed captioning feature shall not be
				deactivated.
2)
If a
				facility does not have a television in a common area that includes a closed
				captioning feature, then the facility
shall
ensure that all
				televisions
subsequently
obtained for common areas include a
				closed captioning feature. This
subsection
does not affect any
				other provision of law relating to disability discrimination or providing
				reasonable accommodations or diminish the rights of a person with a disability
				under any other law. Nothing in this subsection shall apply to televisions that
				are privately owned by a resident or third party and not owned by the
				facility
. (Section
				5.5 of the Act)
3) A facility shall post information
				regarding the availability of closed captioning on televisions in the facility
				and shall provide residents with information on how to activate the closed
				caption feature.
