Summary

The bill lets a resident, guardian, or attorney in fact approve a surveillance camera or audio recorder in the resident’s room at a long‑term care facility. It creates a consent form, outlines who pays for the device and related fees, and limits those fees for Medicaid recipients. Facilities that choose to provide the device must do so at no charge and cannot block or punish residents for using it.
