Ahead of mandatory barrier-free kiosks, controversy over ‘backsliding’ grows

1. The National Assembly Research Service recommended in a report on December 24 that policy be re-established around the accessibility people with disabilities actually experience, following the easing of the barrier-free kiosk requirement.
2. In November, the Ministry of Health and Welfare amended the enforcement decree to exempt small businesses and table-order compact devices from the requirement, and disability groups protested it as a policy setback.
3. The Research Service proposed supplementary measures, including QR code integration, expanded voice interfaces, and a rental or subscription model for support.
