Overview
This bill requires certain group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities to install electronic monitoring devices in common areas, but only upon request and with uniform resident consent. The bill establishes definitions for key terms like ‘authorized representative,’ ‘common areas,’ and ‘electronic monitoring device.’ It outlines procedures for obtaining consent, managing footage, and reporting on implementation, including annual reports from the Department of Human Services. The bill also includes provisions for group homes already using EMDs and establishes a timeline for the DDD to develop best practices and recommendations for the use of these devices.
