An Act to ensure senior home safety and security
This bill requires senior housing facilities (developments primarily for residents aged 55+ or with disabilities, operated by housing authorities or publicly-assisted housing) to provide 24/7 security services. Security services must include monitoring for unlawful activity, preventing theft, protecting people/property, and controlling access - excluding law enforcement officers. All facility employees and relevant staff must receive safety training, and the Secretary of Public Safety will create implementing rules with input from housing, elder affairs, and law enforcement groups. The law directly affects senior housing providers by mandating consistent security protocols to protect vulnerable residents.
