Bill > H2720

This bill establishes regulations for the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, or similar tracking methods, by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its political subdivisions to monitor public employees. Specifically, it prohibits the use of such technology unless its implementation and terms of use are mutually agreed upon in a collective bargaining agreement between the employer and employee representatives. If no collective bargaining agreement is in place, the use of this technology will be governed by specific provisions within Massachusetts General Laws (M.G.L.) chapter 7, sections 52 through 56, which likely outline procedures for state administration and oversight of technology use.
