electronic monitoring; long-term care

SB 1564 requires assisted living facilities and nursing care institutions in Arizona to disclose during license applications and renewals whether residents may install electronic monitoring devices (like audio/video recording devices) in their rooms. The state department must then publicly post this information on its website. The bill defines "electronic monitoring" as devices recording or transmitting sounds/activity to residents or their authorized representatives, and specifies that devices must be fixed or installed in the resident's space. This law applies directly to long-term care facilities and residents seeking to use such monitoring technology.
