An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, providing for electronic monitoring of in-home supportive care; and making editorial changes.

HB 1309 adds new rules to Pennsylvania's Human Services Code for electronic monitoring in homes where in-home supportive care is provided under the LIFE program. It requires care recipients or their guardians to notify caregivers in writing about any video-only monitoring device before care begins, including its location and function, while prohibiting audio recording or placement in bathrooms. The bill mandates that devices be visible, timestamp recordings, and allows caregivers to consent to visual monitoring, with costs borne by the care recipient or guardian. It also prohibits denying care or retaliating against individuals who use such devices, ensuring privacy protections for care recipients.
