Granholm Signs Laws Expanding Rights of Deaf & Hard of hearing
In a ceremonial signing on October 25, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm reinforced the importance of legislation that requires the use of qualified sign language interpreters who possess state or national certification in all accommodations required under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), making the scope of Michigan's law comparable to the federal law. Approximately 1.4 million Michigan citizens are deaf or hard of hearing.
