Mandates certain child care centers to retain audio-visual recordings for 180 days and requires review of such recordings before recordings can be deleted.

This bill requires licensed child care centers in New Jersey with existing audio-visual systems to retain all recordings for 180 days. It directly affects centers that already have such systems installed, not those without them. The key provision mandates that the Department of Children and Families or a designated organization must review the recordings before deletion. Centers may delete recordings after 180 days, but must follow this review process. The bill does not require new installations of surveillance systems.
