§ 24-9-105. Waiver of right to use of interpreter

Whenever a hearing impaired person shall be authorized a qualified interpreter, such person may waive the right to the use of such interpreter. Any such waiver shall be in writing and shall be approved by the agency, law enforcement agency, or court before which the hearing impaired person is to appear. In no event shall the failure of a hearing impaired person to request an interpreter be deemed to be a waiver.
