New email address for Hearing-Impaired Interpreter requests

Bravo to the House Chief Clerk's Office for implementing all the new transparency services for the general public for the 2008 session. In addition, translation services and sign language interpreters may be requested for the public hearings. Chief Clerk Pat Mau-Shimizu received a request from the hearing impaired community to establish an email account for requests since many of their members are unable to make requests by telephone. Here is the new email address for this purpose: houseinterpreter@capitol.hawaii.gov.
