Are laws under consideration regulating the use of surveillance cameras in nursing homes in New York?
Multiple bills are under consideration that would clarify the issue.
Meanwhile, State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D-Staten Island) has a bill that would allow cameras in facilities if they only capture a resident’s personal space, including the area around their bed, furniture and personal belongings. A roommate's personal space or shared areas like bathrooms would be prohibited. Written consent from the roommate would be required and signage must be posted informing people entering the room of the recording.
