The bill is a simple addition to existing law. S7792B will ensure New York State law reflects the rights of people with disabilities to communicate in their preferred manner as guaranteed in the ADA.

Last June, the New York State Assembly unanimously passed A7363C, and we are actively working with local organizations and advocates on passage of the bill (S7792B) in the NY State Senate. youtube.com/watch?v=mzfDAX…
