Bill Summary and Status

HSLDA's Position:

HSLDA opposes H.R. 4633. The language of this bill would require all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia's motor vehicle administrations to implement uniform standards of procedure for easier information integration between these state agencies. H.R. 4633 includes provisions to establish a national database system and a national identification system. Over the years HSLDA has been on the front lines working with member families and legislators to defeat past proposals similar to this bill. HSLDA will again work to stop legislation that infringes upon American's freedom and privacy.
