| SIA, DSA to conduct webinar on September 9th |
SIA, in conjunction with the Document Security Alliance (DSA), will conduct a webinar on proposed revisions to the federal "REAL ID Act" on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. ET.
Real ID established new security requirements for driver's licenses in 2005 that have been strongly opposed by many states and privacy advocates. Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, has proposed the "PASS ID Act" (S. 1261) to replace REAL ID's mandates with requirements that are less expensive and easier to implement. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano has endorsed the bill. The webinar is to include presentations by Kathleen Kraninger, DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for policy (screening coordination), Molly Ramsdell, the National Conference of State Legislatures' Senior Policy Director for State-Federal relations, and Rick Outland, Chief Document Examiner for ID Scientific and President of DSA.
The webinar is free for SIA members, DSA members and government employees and costs $35 for others. Register on the SIA website.
