An Act relative to private detectives and private investigators
This bill amends Massachusetts laws to explicitly include licensed private detectives and investigators when defining who is prohibited from accessing certain state records. It specifically bans these professionals from using motor vehicle registrar data or facial recognition systems for any purpose that conflicts with their professional licensing rules. The legislation also mandates that the licenses of any private investigators caught violating these new prohibitions will be immediately revoked.
