New York A04530 mandates video surveillance in child day care centers for areas occupied by children aged three or younger.

New York A04530 amends the social services law to require child day care centers to install video recording equipment in areas occupied by children aged three or younger. These centers must visually monitor and record these areas whenever children are present. Exceptions include areas not occupied by such children, and minor portions of areas like bathrooms or diaper-changing areas due to layout constraints. Centers must release recordings to relevant authorities if they may show abuse, neglect, or licensing violations, or if required for monitoring inspections.
