Services Information

The Legislature reaffirms its commitment to provide reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities.  For the deaf or hard-of-hearing, assistive listening equipment is available in the Senate and House chambers and in legislative hearing rooms.  ASL Interpreters are available on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00-4:00 during the Legislative Session.  Generally, Interpreters can be scheduled to interpret  Legislative meetings on those days and are available to help legislators communicate with constituents visiting the State House during these hours.
