Requires induction loop listening system installation in certain buildings open to public upon new construction or substantial renovation.

This bill requires new construction or substantial renovations (costing $40,000 or more) of public spaces - such as theaters, libraries, banks, medical waiting areas, and restaurants - to include an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants with telecoil features. Owners must display visible signage indicating the system's availability and verify its functionality every two years via a self-certification form. Exceptions allow owners to skip installation if a local agency determines it would be impractical, following a formal request. The law applies to spaces regularly open to the public, aiming to improve accessibility for people with hearing loss.
