24. Remedy and penalties. (a)(1) Within the next operating week after issuance of a notice of infraction, a movie theater found to be in violation of the requirements of this part shall be required to provide one additional open captioned showing of a motion picture than would otherwise be required pursuant to § 2-1204.22(a)(1). (2) For repeat violations within a 365 day period, the Office may increase the amount of additional open captioned showings otherwise required by paragraph (1) of this subsection. (3) When scheduling additional open captioned showings pursuant to this section, a movie theater shall prioritize additional open captioned showings of the motion picture related to a violation, provided that the movie in question is still playing at that movie theater. (b) For each violation of this part, the Office shall, within a 365-day period of notice of the violation, conduct one additional compliance review of the movie theater in addition to the minimum review requirements of § 2-1204.23(a). (July 19, 2024, D.C. Law 25-190, § 5, 71 DCR 6693.) Applicability Section 7292 of D.C. Law 25-217 repealed section 10 of D.C. theater in addition to the minimum review requirements of § 2-1204.23(a). (July 19, 2024, D.C. Law 25-190, § 5, 71 DCR 6693.) Applicability Section 7292 of D.C. Law 25-217 repealed section 10 of D.C. Law 25-190 removing the applicability provision impacting this section. Therefore the creation of this section by section 5 of Law 25-190 has been implemented. Applicability of D.C. Law 25-190: § 10 of D.C. Law 25-190 provided that the creation of this section by § 5 of D.C. Law 25-190 is subject to the inclusion of the law’s fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been implemented.
