SB 412 allows nursing home residents to request and install cameras or recording devices in their rooms for personal monitoring, provided they submit a written request on a specific form. Nursing homes must permit this if the resident or their representative (with proper consent procedures) requests it. For residents unable to consent, their representative must obtain a professional assessment, explain monitoring details, and document the resident’s agreement. Roommates must also provide written consent if sharing a room. The bill prohibits nonconsensual recording of private communications or still photos.
