This bill seeks to set forth regulations requiring that the commercial television broadcasters in the top 25 television markets to "introduce video description in their transmissions to allow Americans with visual disabilities to better follow the visual action in TV programs."* Because Braille Institute Library Services resides in Los Angeles, California, a city among the top 5 television markets, let alone the top 25, we support any act that fulfills our mission to provide quality services to blind and visually impaired residents of Southern California.
