Requires video cameras to be placed on the entrances/exits of all facilities run by the office for people with developmental disabilities
This bill requires all facilities operated by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities - including group homes, residential homes, and inpatient facilities - to install video cameras at every entrance and exit. The commissioner must develop a system for maintaining the recorded footage, in consultation with the state police. The policy directly affects facilities providing care for people with developmental disabilities across New York. It creates a concrete requirement for security monitoring at facility access points, with implementation required 180 days after enactment. The bill does not change eligibility for services or funding levels, only establishing a new security standard.
