Bill Summary

Relative to electronic scanning of identification. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new Section 8N that clarifies the rules around electronic scanning of identification documents. Specifically, the bill allows businesses in Massachusetts to not only electronically scan identification documents (such as driver's licenses or state IDs), but also permits businesses to manually enter identification information. This means that when a business needs to verify or record customer identification, they have two options: they can use an electronic scanner to read the ID or they can type the information into their system by hand. The bill appears to provide flexibility for businesses in how they handle and record customer identification information, potentially making transactions more convenient for both businesses and consumers.
