Mandates certain child care centers to retain audio-visual recordings for 180 days and requires review of such recordings before recordings can be deleted.

This bill requires licensed child care centers in New Jersey that already have video or audio surveillance systems to keep all recordings for 180 days. It mandates that the Department of Children and Families or a designated third party must review these recordings before they can be deleted. The law does not require centers without existing systems to install new surveillance equipment. It applies specifically to centers licensed under Title 30 of New Jersey law and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
