Bill > H4323

This bill aims to protect the privacy of 911 callers in Massachusetts. It requires 911 call recordings to be maintained confidentially for at least one year, and limits the circumstances under which these recordings can be accessed or released. The bill specifies that 911 call recordings are not considered public records, but allows for limited sharing with the caller, emergency responders, law enforcement, and the court under certain conditions. Additionally, the bill states that while the audio recording is confidential, a written transcript of the call can be requested and provided, with personally identifying information redacted.
