Bill > H3601

This bill establishes new privacy protections for all-electronic tolling data in Massachusetts. It defines key terms like "tolling data" and "automated license plate reader system (ALPR)," and sets strict limits on when the Department of Transportation can access, search, or disclose this data. The bill requires the Department to permanently destroy tolling data within 120 days, unless it is needed to collect unpaid tolls or in response to a valid search warrant, production order, or preservation request related to a felony investigation. The bill also allows individuals to sue for damages if their privacy rights are violated, and provides for treble damages or exemplary damages in cases of willful violations.
