In July, Sen. John A. DeFrancisco announced the passage of S5533-B by the state’s Senate and Assembly. The bill, which DeFrancisco introduced, would require state-funded courts to provide CART services for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. NCRA member Adam H. Alweis, RPR, a senior court reporter from Syracuse, N.Y., attended the press conference where the announcement was made and provided a wireless realtime demonstration for those that attended.
