electronic monitoring; health care facilities

HB 2784 grants residents in Arizona nursing care facilities or assisted living facilities (where care is partially or fully paid by public funds) the right to install electronic monitoring devices in their rooms. Residents or their legally authorized representatives must provide the facility with a written notice detailing the device type, recording preferences (audio/video), and specific times when monitoring should pause (e.g., during medical procedures, bathing, or private visits). The bill requires facilities to allow this monitoring after proper notice and specifies that the notice must include all terms chosen by the resident or representative. This law directly affects residents seeking greater privacy and oversight in their living spaces while ensuring facilities follow clear, written protocols.
