SD 1032 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act strengthening GPS tampering Laws

SD 1032 strengthens GPS tampering laws by making it a felony to remove or destroy a GPS tracking device without judicial approval or a demonstrated need to prevent greater harm. This law directly affects individuals under court supervision (such as those on probation or parole) who use GPS tracking devices. The key provision imposes a mandatory minimum 2-year prison sentence for unauthorized tampering. The change specifically targets willful interference with tracking systems, not accidental damage.
