An Act prohibiting video recording or broadcasting while driving
This bill prohibits drivers in Massachusetts from recording or broadcasting video of themselves on mobile electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle. The law allows for exceptions when a device is mounted and used to monitor traffic or passengers, during emergencies, or when recording serves a clear public interest. Additionally, the legislation ensures that existing rights to record under state or federal law remain intact and does not restrict the use of dashcams for safety monitoring.
