MA S2639

Authorizes Massachusetts cities and towns to voluntarily implement automated curb enforcement programs using stationary cameras and sensors to detect parking, standing, and stopping violations in designated zones including bicycle lanes, bus stops, loading zones, and crosswalks

Allows violation notices to be mailed to registered vehicle owners within 14 days rather than requiring physical tickets affixed to vehicles, with citations issued by parking clerks without police presence at the scene

Municipalities may set their own fine amounts and retain all revenue collected for local purposes such as transportation infrastructure and traffic safety programs

Prohibits use of facial recognition or biometric identification technology, restricts collected data solely to parking enforcement purposes, and requires deletion of data after adjudication is complete

Violations are strictly civil matters with no criminal penalties, no impact on driving records or insurance, and requires conspicuous signage at enforcement locations (absence of signage is a valid defense)
