Massachusetts H4634 aims to protect the privacy of 911 callers by restricting the release of audio recordings.
Massachusetts H4634 amends Chapter 6A of the Massachusetts General Laws to classify audio or video recordings of 911 calls as private data, except for written transcripts which are public. The bill prohibits the release of audio recordings without the caller's written consent, except under specific circumstances such as a court order or for law enforcement investigations. The caller must pay for the cost of transcribing the call if a written transcript is requested.
