VA HB602

Requires movie theater companies with five or more Virginia locations to provide at least four open captioning screenings within the first two weeks of a film's release, with at least one during evening or weekend prime-time hours

Smaller theater companies (four or fewer locations) must provide at least one open captioning screening within eight calendar days of receiving a request

Mandates all movie theaters provide functional closed captioning devices for every screening of films produced with closed captioning, as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act

Theaters must advertise open captioning screenings using "OC" symbols and provide website contact information for captioning requests

The Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Law will handle consumer complaints, and theaters found in violation must provide one additional open captioning screening the following week
