La. lawmakers advance bill that would allow cameras in nursing home rooms

Some nursing home operators are opposing the bill


A bill allowing cameras in nursing home rooms advanced out of the Louisiana House Health and Welfare Committee, 9-1, and heads to the full House, according to an article on the Advocate website.

The bill advanced over the objections of the nursing home industry leaders, who raised concerns about privacy and internet hackers who could try to access webcams.

But Mark Berger, Louisiana Nursing Home Association executive director, only asked that legislators be amenable to working together to improve security provisions tied to the bill.
