HB 1832 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Intermediate care facilities; electronic monitoring; long-term care facilities; term; intermediate care facilities; effective date.

HB 1832 amends Oklahoma law to establish rules for electronic monitoring in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes, assisted living centers, and intermediate care facilities. The bill requires facilities to obtain written consent from residents (or their representatives) before monitoring a resident's room and to post clear signage about monitoring at facility entrances. It allows residents to install their own monitoring devices in their rooms with roommates' written consent and mandates that facilities provide room changes if a roommate objects. The law also prohibits tampering with monitoring devices and unauthorized interception of communications, with penalties for violations.
