§ 70.
Monitoring by closed circuit television. The Department of Human Services as successor to the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities may install closed circuit televisions in quiet rooms in institutions supervised or operated by the Department to monitor patients in those quiet rooms. The Department shall study current and potential uses of electronic monitoring and recording for the purpose of preventing and identifying abuse and neglect within State-operated developmental centers and developmental disabilities services programs funded, certified, or licensed by the Department of Human Services but not those centers or programs licensed by another State agency, and shall report to the General Assembly on or before January 1, 2008, with recommendations on the feasibility of increasing utilization of electronic monitoring and recording for purposes of preventing and identifying abuse and neglect. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to supersede or interfere with any current provisions in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code concerning the observation and monitoring of patients.
