This bill establishes driver privacy protections in Massachusetts. It prohibits the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) systems to track or monitor constitutionally protected activities, limits the retention of ALPR data, and restricts the disclosure or access to such data. The bill also regulates the use of toll collection technologies, requiring that they only be used for tolling purposes and that toll data be permanently deleted after 120 days, with exceptions for criminal investigations and toll collection.
