Requires certain group homes and supervised apartments to install electronic monitoring devices in common areas under certain circumstances; "Billy Cray's Law."

Billy Cray's Law (A1364) requires group homes and supervised apartments for individuals with developmental disabilities to install electronic monitoring devices in common areas when residents request them, with consent from all roommates. The law makes monitoring noncompulsory, requires licensees to provide written notice of residents' rights, bear all installation and maintenance costs, and post visible notices when devices are installed. Licensees must ensure reasonable accommodations for monitoring requests and provide access to recordings for residents and authorized representatives. The law aims to improve safety and care quality by enabling residents to monitor treatment conditions, with penalties including $5,000 fines for first-time noncompliance.
