State motor vehicle agencies are a powerful constituency because we have contacts in every congressional district. What happens on Capitol Hill or with federal agencies often impacts AAMVA jurisdictions’ operations and procedures. So AAMVA monitors U.S. federal legislation and regulations relevant to our community. AAMVA also educates and communicates with federal policymakers about issues that are facing our motor vehicle and law enforcement communities.
Staff and board members often testify at hearings and other public forums on behalf of the association. AAMVA maintains relationships with key executive and federal agencies, congressional and legislative staff.
