health care facilities; electronic monitoring

HB 2785 prohibits assisted living facilities and nursing care institutions in Arizona from restricting residents' use of electronic monitoring devices in their private rooms. It specifically bans facilities from prohibiting installation, discriminating against residents who choose to use monitoring, or retaliating based on consent decisions. The law defines "electronic monitoring" as devices recording audio/video in a resident's room for their use or authorized parties, and allows civil penalties for violations. The bill passed the House in March 2025 but failed in the Senate on March 26, 2025.
