Combined Standing Committees Meet

AAMVA's Driver, Law Enforcement, and Vehicle standing committees came together last week in Arlington, Virginia, for the Combined Standing Committees Meeting. AAMVA’s first in-person member meeting since February 2020 included participation by some committee members who joined virtually. Each committee gave a report on their accomplishments over the past year and gave an update on the big projects they'll be tackling in the coming year. The committees also brainstormed ideas for topics at the 2022 Workshop and Law Institute in Orlando, Florida. Visit our Flickr Page for photos of the meeting! 

 

Chris McDonold Recognized for His Work with NMVTIS

Chris McDonold, Executive Director of the Maryland Vehicle Theft Prevention Council, was recognized during the Law Enforcement Standing Committee meeting on Wednesday, October 6 for his long term commitment in supporting NMVTIS and for his service as Chair on the NMVTIS Law Enforcement Subcommittee. For the past 10 years, Chris has been instrumental in promoting the use of the NMVTIS Law Enforcement Access Tool and has made great strides to enhance collaboration among DMV’s and law enforcement about the many benefits of NMVTIS. 

AAMVA Joins NASID

AAMVA has joined the National Alliance to Stop Impaired Driving (NASID), which was formed to provide a strong, collaborative national focus toward the growing problem of multiple substance impaired driving. NASID is made up of a coalition of leading experts dedicated to promoting programs, technologies, and bipartisan legislation to save lives from multiple substance-related driving incidents. While other groups exist with the expressed mission to address either drunk or drugged driving, NASID is the first entity formed to address them both in a coordinated fashion, highlighting the fact that those issues do not exist in silos and should not be approached in piecemeal fashion. Questions should be directed to Brian Ursino, Director, Law Enforcement, and the AAMVA designated NASID representative.

Available: S2S Driver History Record (DHR) Administration Training

AAMVA is offering a DHR Administration training course on October 19, 2021, from 1:30 pm ET to 4:00 pm ET. DHR Administration provides states with new measures to improve the administration of non-CDL driver history (DH). Specifically, DHR supports the electronic exchange of out-of-state convictions and withdrawals, provides visibility of individuals that may have more than one DHR, and sets rules for maintaining DH in a standardized manner, all specifically for non-CDLIS drivers.
 
It is recommended that attendees have prior knowledge of S2S and/or represent a state that is already participating in S2S. This course focuses on DHR Administration. For other S2S related training courses, please refer to intevista (AAMVA’s virtual classroom).

Now Available: Best Practices for Potential Duplicate Resolution Training

AAMVA is now offering a Best Practices for Potential Duplicate Resolution training course on October 26, 2021, from 1:30 pm ET to 3:30 pm ET. Identification of potential duplicates is one of the most critical functions that S2S provides and is instrumental in allowing S2S participants to limit a person to one driver license and, where applicable, one REAL ID credential. This training provides S2S states guidance on the best practices for resolving potential duplicates identified for their state.
 
It is highly recommended that you have prior knowledge of S2S or have already implemented S2S when taking this class. This class does not cover any other concepts for S2S, for other S2S related training courses, please refer to intevista (AAMVA’s virtual classroom).
