Arlington, VA--Today, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) issued the following statement concerning the U.S. Senate’s recently-introduced PASS ID bill.
"The introduction of PASS ID in the U.S. Senate illustrates that lawmakers recognize the implementation challenges with the current law and are open to workable solutions. This is a significant and positive step towards enabling states to comply with federal standards for secure driver’s licenses while maintaining state flexibility and reducing the costs for implementation. Motor vehicle agencies have a demonstrated history of improving the integrity and security of driver's licenses and identification cards and AAMVA looks forward to working with both Congress and the Administration to help state motor vehicle agencies implement a practical solution."
Founded in 1933, AAMVA actively promotes traffic safety and uniformity among North American jurisdictions. Representing chief motor vehicle administrators and law enforcement officials, the association develops uniform programs in driver licensing, vehicle titling/registration and motor carrier services, among others.
