Requires children's psychiatric facilities to have designated staff members visually supervise patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This bill requires New Jersey children's psychiatric facilities to provide continuous visual supervision of all patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It mandates that facilities designate trained staff members to actively monitor children, including through video systems that stream live footage to staff who must continuously watch the monitors. The supervision must cover all areas except bathroom, shower, or changing facilities, and children cannot be left alone with other children without active supervision. This applies specifically to hospitals contracted for acute child psychiatric care or private facilities providing short-term psychiatric treatment for children.
