Authorizes surveillance cameras in group homes funded or operated by the office for people with developmental disabilities

This bill authorizes the state office for people with developmental disabilities to install surveillance cameras with sound in public common areas of group homes it funds or operates. It directly affects group homes serving children or adults with mental or physical disabilities, including spaces like living rooms, dining areas, hallways, and classrooms. The cameras would be limited to public areas, not private rooms, and the bill does not require installation but permits it as an option for the office. The measure focuses on providing a tool for facility oversight, with no requirement for implementation.
