An Act to establish the Massachusetts judicial security act
This bill establishes the Massachusetts Judicial Security Act to protect the personal information of current and retired judges and their immediate family members. It prohibits government agencies from publicly posting these individuals' contact details online without their written consent and requires such agencies to remove the information within 72 hours of a request. Additionally, the law bans data brokers from selling or sharing this data and mandates that any entity displaying this information must delete it from the internet within three days of receiving a removal request. The legislation also allows judges to seek legal recourse and recover legal fees if their private information is leaked due to a violation of these rules.
