SF 3240 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain health care facilities electronic monitoring authorization provision

This bill allows patients in Minnesota hospitals, hospice facilities, and birth centers to use electronic monitoring devices in their rooms to help prevent abuse. It specifically applies to vulnerable patients - including the elderly, young children, individuals with disabilities, neurodivergent conditions, or impaired cognition - during stays longer than 24 hours. The policy follows existing rules for such devices, enabling patients to install them without facility permission. This change directly affects patient safety during extended care stays in covered facilities.
