U.S. Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Cynthia Lummis, R-Wy., introduced the Improving Digital Identity Act of 2022. The legislation would create a public-private taskforce to develop ideas to improve cybersecurity while encouraging states to allow citizens to access “critical services” online. The bill would establish digital identity grants for states and tribes that could include digital driver’s licenses. It would also require federal agencies to strengthen the “security, accessibility, and privacy” of their networks.
