HD 3331 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to protect the privacy of 911 callers

HD 3331 protects the privacy of individuals who call 911 by classifying the audio recording of such calls as private data. It allows written transcripts of the calls to be provided to the public upon request, but the requester must pay for transcription costs. The audio recording itself cannot be released without the caller's written consent or a court order balancing public interest against privacy, though law enforcement may use it for investigations or training. This bill directly affects 911 callers and ensures their call audio is safeguarded, while maintaining access for public safety purposes.
