MODERATE

This bill expands the scope of electronic monitoring regulations to include assisted living establishments, previously excluded from the law. It updates key definitions to cover these new facilities and residents, and adds a new section requiring specific consent procedures and resident inquiries before monitoring begins.

Scope change

The bill's applicability now extends to assisted living establishments and residents living in them, whereas it previously only applied to nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, and other licensed long-term care facilities.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'Establishment' to explicitly include assisted living establishments as defined in the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act.

Updated the definition of 'Resident' to include individuals residing in an 'establishment' in addition to a 'facility'.

Revised the definition of 'Facility' to remove the specific reference to assisted living establishments, clarifying that they are now covered under the new 'Establishment' definition.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new Section 15 requiring that before monitoring begins, staff must ask the resident if they want it and explain the device type, conditions, data sharing, and the right to decline.

Added a new Section 15(a-5) detailing the specific information staff must explain to residents regarding electronic monitoring before consent is obtained from others.
