Introduced·6/26/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts S2639 authorizes cities and towns to implement automated curb enforcement systems for parking violations.

Massachusetts S2639 allows municipalities to establish automated curb enforcement systems for monitoring and enforcing parking regulations. These systems can include stationary cameras or sensors to detect violations in designated areas. The bill specifies that violations detected by these systems are civil infractions, not criminal offenses, and do not result in criminal charges, arrests, or incarceration. Municipalities can set their own fines for these violations, which must be conspicuous and informative.
