Massachusetts S1059 aims to protect state data systems by restricting access to federal agencies for civil enforcement purposes.

Massachusetts S1059 amends state law to restrict the disclosure of state data to federal agencies for civil enforcement purposes. It specifies that information from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles can only be disclosed for civil immigration enforcement if a valid probable cause warrant is presented. The attorney general is authorized to contest any unlawful demands for information. The bill also defines "criminal justice duties" to include specific uses of the criminal justice information system, excluding civil enforcement duties.
