Two Virginia congressmen will introduce a bill in Congress today to make U.S.
driver's licenses standard across the country and to add computer chips and
possibly fingerprints to the licenses as identifiers. The representatives are
calling their bill the Driver's License Modernization Act of 2002. They say
the new law would help to prevent fraud and improve national security while
it makes license requirements consistent among all the states. According to
the article on GlobalAutoNet ,
a $315 million federal expenditure called for in the bill would be used to
link up all states' computer systems. A controversial clause in the bill would
allow other computerized applications to be applied to the new driver's licenses,
including private companies' applications such as ATM or credit-card capabilities.
