Bill > H1722

This bill amends the existing law on wiretapping in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The key provision is that it allows a person not acting under color of law (i.e., not a government official) to intercept a wire communication containing a person's speech or oral communication if the person is a party to the communication or if one of the parties has given prior consent to the interception. This change expands the circumstances in which private individuals can legally intercept communications, which was previously more restricted under the existing law.
