Requires the provision of assistive listening systems in New York state public transportation terminals

This bill requires all public transportation terminals in New York (including airports, bus stations, and train stations open to the general public) to install assistive listening systems and visual emergency alarms for people who are hard of hearing or deaf. Key provisions mandate real-time captioning for announcements, clear signage with universal symbols, and specific technology like induction loops or infrared systems, alongside visual alarms for emergencies that avoid flashing lights. Facilities must comply within 36 months of the law's effective date, excluding private-use terminals like those owned exclusively by companies. The law defines "public-use" terminals as those available without prior owner approval and specifies technical standards developed by state councils.
