HD 2261 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to license transparency

HD 2261 requires the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to share license holder information with city or town clerks when verifying voter identity and eligibility, and with state law enforcement agencies during investigations. The bill amends existing law to mandate that the attorney general's regulations must include this specific requirement for data sharing. This change directly affects the RMV's procedures, making it necessary to provide license details upon request for these two purposes. The policy does not alter driver's license issuance but specifies when the RMV must share existing license data with election officials and law enforcement.
