Child care centers requirement to use video security cameras to monitor infants and toddlers

SF 2723 requires licensed child care centers in Minnesota to install and maintain video security cameras monitoring infants and toddlers in all public and shared areas by January 1, 2026. Centers must keep cameras recording 24/7 with specific technical standards (720p resolution, 15+ FPS), retain footage for 90 days (unless under investigation), and share recordings only under court orders or for parent reviews after reported injuries. The bill mandates written policies detailing camera locations and access rules, plus mandatory parent notifications and entrance signs about camera use. This directly affects licensed centers caring for infants and toddlers, focusing on safety transparency without restricting general facility monitoring.
