The bill titled "An Act providing for mobile drivers licenses in the commonwealth" proposes the establishment of an electronic credential system for issuing mobile drivers licenses in Massachusetts. It amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws by inserting a new section, 8O, which outlines definitions and requirements for electronic credentials. The registrar is tasked with creating a system that allows eligible individuals to obtain an electronic credential in addition to their physical license, ensuring that the data elements match those of the physical credential. The bill also stipulates that the electronic credential must comply with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) standards and includes provisions for data security, privacy protection, and the verification process.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of privacy for credential holders, stating that relying parties can only retain data with explicit consent and must inform holders about the use and retention period of their data. It also clarifies that while operating a vehicle, individuals must carry their physical credential and that displaying an electronic credential does not grant law enforcement the right to access other data on the device. The registrar is required to develop regulations to implement these provisions within 270 days of the bill's passage, which will take effect 270 days after enactment.
