A bill for an act relating to the requirements for authorized electronic monitoring in nursing facilities, and providing penalties.

Summary

The bill allows a resident or the resident’s legal representative to place a video‑camera device in a nursing‑facility room, but only after a written consent form is completed. Nursing facilities must obtain that consent from the resident (or representative) and, in shared rooms, from any roommate before any monitoring can start. If a roommate objects, the facility must try to accommodate the request, such as by offering a different room, and penalties apply for violations.
