Bill > S06115

This bill requires the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities to install video cameras at all entrances and exits of its facilities, including group homes, residential homes, and inpatient facilities. The bill mandates that the commissioner, in collaboration with the state police, will develop a system for recording and maintaining the video footage. The purpose of this requirement appears to be to enhance safety and accountability in facilities serving individuals with developmental disabilities. The new requirement will go into effect 180 days after the bill becomes law, which provides time for the office to plan and implement the video camera installations across its various facilities.
