CDT Supports Privacy Provisions in the PASS ID Bill - CDT supports the introduction of the Providing for Additional Security in States’ Identification (PASS ID) Act of 2009 today. CDT has long promoted the goal of making driver’s license and ID card issuance more secure, as recommended by the 9/11 Commission. The PASS ID Act mitigates or corrects critical privacy and security flaws introduced by REAL ID while still establishing minimum federal standards for the issuance of driver’s licenses and ID cards. CDT supports the reforms proposed by PASS ID as a much-needed improvement over current law. June 15, 2009

The announcement coincided with the release of the federal Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board’s own report recommending changes to government privacy rules. CDT is also encouraging the public’s participation in helping craft privacy legislation via an interactive "wiki." The “wiki” allows anyone to read any part of the bill, change the language, provide feedback or simply open a discussion on any provision of the bill. CDT will edit and moderate this open process and, if appropriate, incorporate suggestions in the final bill it submits to Congress. May 28, 2009
