HD 4826 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the city of Cambridge to expand the options available to issue notices of violation for parking enforcement above the limits set forth in M.G.L. C. 90, §20A½ or other applicable state laws

HD 4826 authorizes the City of Cambridge to issue parking violation notices in new ways beyond current state law limits. It allows Cambridge to mail violation notices to vehicle registrants' addresses (instead of only attaching them to cars) and use automated license plate readers (ALPR) with photo evidence to document violations. The bill requires all notices - whether mailed or from ALPR - to include proof of the violation (like photos) and follow specific mailing procedures. This directly affects Cambridge parking enforcement officers and vehicle owners within Cambridge who receive these notices. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
