(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)
Sec. 13-705.
Every telephone directory distributed after July 1, 1990
to the general public in this State which lists the calling numbers of
telephones, of any telephone exchange located in this State, shall also
contain a listing, at no additional charge, of any special calling number
assigned to any telecommunication device for the deaf in use within the
geographic area of coverage for the directory, unless the telephone company
is notified by the telecommunication device subscriber that the subscriber
does not wish the TDD number to be listed in the directory. Such listing
shall include, but is not limited to, residential, commercial and
governmental numbers with telecommunication device access and shall include
a designation if the device is for print or display communication only or
if it also accommodates voice transmission. In addition to the
aforementioned requirements each telephone directory so distributed
shall also contain a listing of any city and county emergency services and
any police telecommunication device for the deaf calling numbers in the
coverage area within this State which is included in the directory as well
as the listing of the Illinois State Police emergency telecommunication
device for the deaf calling number in Springfield. This emergency numbers
listing shall be preceded by the words "Emergency Assistance for Deaf
Persons" which shall be as legible and printed in the same size as all
other emergency subheadings on the page; provided, that the provisions of
this Section do not apply to those directories distributed solely for
business advertising purposes, commonly known as classified directories.
