AI Summary
This bill requires children's psychiatric facilities to have designated staff members visually supervise patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The bill also specifies that children cannot be left unsupervised, except when using the bathroom, shower, or changing facilities, and cannot be left alone with other children without active, visual supervision by the designated staff members. The Department of Children and Families is required to adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this bill.
