Bill > H1256

This bill amends existing law to restrict the use of data collected by toll collection technology, such as transponders and GPS devices, ensuring it is only used for charging and managing tolls. It prohibits sharing this data, which can include vehicle location, license plate numbers, and photographs, with any outside entity unless a valid warrant is obtained according to specific legal requirements. Data obtained or accessed improperly will be inadmissible in court, and individuals whose rights are violated can sue for damages, potentially receiving exemplary damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation, plus legal costs, and any such misuse will also be considered a violation of Chapter 93A, which governs unfair and deceptive business practices.
