The state will finance translation services for the deaf and the deafblind for up to 120 hours a year. Students with such disabilities will be entitled to 60 hours of additional translation services per semester.
The law obliges the Bulgarian municipalities to provide administrative services to nearly 120,000 deaf and deafblind people within 2 years.
