Massachusetts H1935 amends wiretapping laws to prohibit non-law enforcement individuals from intercepting private communications without consent.
Massachusetts H1935 modifies existing wiretapping laws by adding a clause that explicitly prohibits individuals not acting under the authority of law from intercepting wire communications that contain speech or oral communication. This applies unless the intercepting individual is a party to the communication or has received prior consent from one of the parties involved. This legislative change aims to strengthen privacy protections for individuals in the Commonwealth.
