An Act to ensure driver privacy with electronic tolling
This bill amends Massachusetts tolling laws to protect driver privacy by restricting how data from electronic toll collection systems can be used and shared. It prohibits using tolling technology to track vehicle locations for any purpose other than charging tolls and forbids sharing data like GPS coordinates, license plates, or photos with law enforcement without a valid warrant. The law also allows for civil lawsuits and fines against entities that willfully violate these privacy rules, while permitting warrantless access only in emergencies involving immediate danger of death or serious injury.
