Urges businesses to incorporate accessible technology into all self-service kiosks or devices to ensure equal access by people who are blind or who have low vision
This Missouri House resolution (HR 542) urges businesses to adopt accessible technology in self-service kiosks and devices - such as restaurant payment terminals, airport check-ins, or pharmacy systems - to ensure equal access for people who are blind or have low vision. It specifically recommends features like screen readers, voice navigation, or tactile keypads, noting these solutions are already available from manufacturers. The resolution emphasizes that accessible kiosks would allow independent use for daily tasks (e.g., payments, check-ins) without requiring assistance, aligning with accessibility standards. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but encourages voluntary adoption by businesses.
