Requires hospital to install and operate electronic monitoring device at request of incapacitated patient or patient's legal representative.

This bill requires New Jersey hospitals to install and operate electronic monitoring devices (like cameras or video phones) in a patient's room when requested by an incapacitated patient or their legal representative. It defines "incapacitated" as patients who are unconscious, immobile, or unable to verbally communicate. Hospitals must inform patients of this right during admission, cover all costs for the device, store recorded footage for 60 days after discharge, and obtain written consent from roommates before installation. Tampering with or destroying the device without consent is a criminal offense punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
