House Bill No. 1832 amends existing laws regarding electronic monitoring in long-term care facilities, specifically expanding the definition and regulations to include intermediate care facilities. The bill introduces the term "intermediate care facility" and defines it as an institution primarily for the diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of individuals with intellectual disabilities or related conditions. It also modifies the definition of "authorized electronic monitoring" to allow for the placement of electronic monitoring devices in both common areas and residents' rooms of intermediate care facilities, nursing facilities, assisted living centers, and continuum of care facilities.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for conducting authorized electronic monitoring, including obtaining written consent from residents or their representatives, and mandates that facilities provide notice to residents regarding the use of such monitoring. It prohibits facilities from refusing admission or removing residents based on their choice to utilize electronic monitoring. The bill also establishes penalties for tampering with monitoring devices and sets forth guidelines for consent forms and notifications related to electronic monitoring. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
