TASA Modernization Bill
FTRI is excited to announce that the Governor has signed the Modernization of Telecommunications Access Systems Act (TASA) of 1991 legislative bill (CS/CS/SB 344).
This new law is effective July 1, 2025. This means FTRI can offer wireless equipment to finanically eligible Deaf, late-deafened, hard of hearing, and deafblind by January 2026. FTRI will be spending the next several months developing a new application process for wireless equipment, redesigning FTRI Website, and determining which wireless equipment to offer. FTRI will also continue to offer free landline phones and accessories to eligible folks.
This is indeed a great news for Floridains with hearing loss as well as those with speech impairements. Let's celebrate!
Thank you for all of your support!
