David Samuelsen" Subject: (uad-announce) HR 5 Resolution - Your Calls to Legislature Date: 15 Feb 2001 14:54:05 -0700 > William R. Wales, UCCD Representative Loraine T. Pace from the Cache Valley is sponsoring H.R. 5, Resolution Providing For Hearing Disabilities in this 2001 Legislative session. This resolution urges places of public accommodation to more fully comply with the ADA to ensure that persons who are deaf or hard of hearing receive the assistance required by the act. For the full text of this resolution, you might like to check the its website: http://www.le.state.ut.us/~2001/bills/hbillint/HR0005.htm If you are in full agreement with this HR, please contact your legislative representative(s) immediately and tell them to vote for it. There is no fiscal impact on the state and so it may be likely that this resolution is passed. Public accommodations including hospitals, movies, lawyers would be the ones to pay for interpreters or any other assistive devices. They should have done that a long time ago, right? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "W.
