Requires nursing homes to permit use of electronic monitoring devices at request of resident.

This New Jersey bill (A267) requires nursing homes to allow residents or their legal representatives to use electronic monitoring devices - such as cameras, audio recorders, or video phones - in a resident's room, upon request. It directly affects nursing home residents, their families, and facility staff. Key provisions include: nursing homes must inform residents of this right, cannot deny admission or remove residents for requesting monitoring, and must provide physical accommodations (like mounting space and power access). The resident or their representative funds the device, must post a notice on the room door, and must respect other residents' privacy (including obtaining written consent if sharing a room). Tampering with a monitored device becomes a third-degree crime.
