What it requires
- If you are a publisher or manufacturer of electronic video instructional materials offered for adoption or sale in Missouri, supply the materials with open captions or closed captions, except for video products or portions for which you do not have the rights to add captions and for products the user does not receive as a physical copy because they are broadcast or distributed over the internet or world wide web (Mo. Rev. Stat. sec. 170.135.2).

What this law does
Electronic video instructional materials are materials designed, marketed, and sold for use in the instructional programs of educational institutions in Missouri, including materials on videotape, CD-ROM, digital video disc (DVD), and film.
Beginning , every publisher or manufacturer of electronic video instructional materials offered for adoption or sale in the state must supply the materials with open captions or closed captions, except video products or portions for which the publisher does not have the rights to add captions and products the user does not receive as a physical copy.
A publisher or manufacturer that fails to comply is liable to the entity that purchased the materials in the amount of three times the amount the purchasing entity paid to have captions placed on them.
A liability claim may be made on behalf of the purchasing entity by the individual purchaser, a school, school district, college, or university that employs the individual purchaser, the Missouri department of elementary and secondary education, or the Missouri department of higher education and workforce development.
