Text of the page (random words):
a litany of lies to the legislature from the california department of motor vehicles dmv gov gavin newson signed a bill into law this week which authorizes the dmv to upload information about about all california driver s licenses and state issued non driver id cards to the spexs national id database the bill sb 169 is effective immediately gov newsom and the dmv have made much of the guardrails included in the bill but as we testified at the last hearing before this bill was enacted see video starting at 2 48 22 once the dmv uploads information about all california driver s licenses and ids to aamva which holds the spexs database the guardrails in this bill would do nothing to protect californians against the threat that federal or other states law enforcement agencies could obtain an order 1 requiring aamva to hand over this data in bulk and 2 prohibiting aamva from disclosing that order to the dmv or to the californians especially vulnerable immigrant and transgender californians against whom this data will be weaponized neither the dmv nor impacted californians will even know this has happened and it won t be detectable by the audit of dmv records not aamva records required by sb 169 in its report on the signing of sb 169 the sacramento bee erroneously states perhaps based on misinformation from the dmv and or the governor s office that the data sharing authorized by sb 169 is required by federal law but the regulations cited by the bee apply only to those states that choose to comply with the real id act as a coalition of 170 organizations said in a joint statement quoted by the bee the first rule of combating tyranny is do not comply in advance it is imperative that california not willingly give away data that the federal government could turn around and use to harm our communities no state is required to comply with the real id act no state is required to upload data about its residents to a database held by a private company aamva this is a choice the wrong choice for californians edward hasbrouck posted in real id 2 comments jul 01 2026 did california s dmv director lie to the legislature california dmv director steve gordon responds to questions from members of senate budget subcommittee 5 on transportation march 19 2026 as part of their lobbying of the california legislature to change state law and appropriate 55 million to upload information about all california driver s licenses and id state issued non driver id cards to the privately held spexs national id database the department of motor vehicles dmv and the office of governor gavin newsom have claimed that the state is already committed to the planned upload despite the fact that it would violate current state law restricting disclosure of license and id records the latest responses to our public records requests show that this claim is false at a hearing on march 19 2026 before senate budget subcommittee 5 on transportation dmv director steve gordon testified see video beginning at 1 42 00 as i mentioned you know california has signed an agreement back in 2028 to effectuate you know the real id act and make sure that in fact that we re compliant including state to state so the agreement we have with the department of homeland security as well as the transportation security administration is we have a agreed upon date which is the february 2027 date that you mentioned if the dmv director the governor or some other state official signed such an agreement purporting to commit the state to take actions prohibited by current state law that raises important questions as to whether they violated their duty to comply with state laws or whether they took it upon themselves to commit the legislature to change those laws after subsequent meetings in which the dmv and the governor s office doubled down on their claim that the state is already bound by signed agreements with the dhs and tsa we filed public records requests with the dmv and the governor s office to find out who signed those agreements when and what the agreements say the response from the dmv and the governor s office was that they could find no record of any such agreements in our public records request we cited dmv director gordon s testimony and asked for a copy of each agreement referred to by director gordon in this testimony including the names titles and organizational or agency affiliations of each of the persons signing the agreement this request includes the agreement s signed in 2018 and the agreement s that the state of california and or the dmv currently has with the u s department of homeland security and or transportation security administration regarding the state to state system the date of participation by the state of california and or the dmv in that system or the february 2027 date referred to by director gordon the office of the governor told us that it has no records responsive to your request the dmv after three weeks of delay told us that it could find no contracts or agreements at all with the tsa and that the only contracts or agreements with the dhs that it could find were a series of annual contracts for the dmv to pay the dhs per query fees to use the dhs uscis systematic alien verification for entitlements save system to check the citizenship and immigration status of applicants for california driver s licenses and ids the dmv could find no contracts or agreements with the dhs related to the state to state system assuming these responses to our request for public records to be accurate there is no agreement form 2018 or more recently with the dhs or tsa committing california to participate in the s2s network or upload any information to the spexs database at aamva s central site for s2s much less any agreement committing the state ot a february 2027 deadline for this upload contrary to dmv director gordon s testimony this isn t a new question or the first time that dmv director gordon appears to have lied about real id act requirements in our testimony as the only public witness at a state budget hearing in 2019 we pointed out see video beginning at 1 10 23 that that the dmv was already making plans that would require this upload but hadn t sought funding or authorization from the legislature for it we also raised many of the other issues that have re emerged this year when the dmv belatedly sought approval and funding for the upload following that 2019 hearing dmv director gordon admitted to us that he had personally flown without id and knew that no id at all is required to fly despite his personal appearances in dmv videos and public service announcements claiming that id was required and that real id would be required to fly neither california legislators nor the public should trust the dmv on this issue especially when the dmv s director makes specific claims in official testimony naming specific parties dates and details of which the dmv can find no record as we said at this monday s hearing before the full senate budget committee see video starting at 2 48 22 once the dmv uploads information about all california driver s licenses and ids to aamva which holds the spexs database the guardrails in this bill would do nothing to protect californians against the threat that federal or other states law enforcement agencies could obtain an order 1 requiring aamva to hand over this data in bulk and 2 prohibiting aamva from disclosing that order to the dmv or to the californians especially vulnerable immigrant and transgender californians against whom this data will be weaponized this is a major policy question that shouldn t be be bundled into the budget there s no urgency and no legal deadline only a date picked by aamva for aamva s convenience there s no reason not to remove this proposal form this year s budget and budget trailer bill so that it can be given full and deliberate consideration by the appropriate policy committees of the legislature there s an alternative as we ve been telling the dmv and the legislature for years instread of premature capitulation to dhs threats california should be working through its attorney general to prepare to defend californians against any attempt by the dhs and or tsa to carry out their lawless threats to interfere with state residents right to travel if the state chooses not to comply with the real id act edward hasbrouck posted in real id leave a comment jun 27 2026 california legislature agrees to upload driver s licenses to national database withdrawing its opposition under behind the scenes pressure from gov gavin newsom and lawless threats from the us department of homeland security dhs the california legislature has agreed to fund and revise state law to authorize the upload of information about all driver s licenses and id cards issued by the state to the private spexs national id database operated by the american association of motor vehicle administrators aamva the budget compromise between gov newsom and the legislature announced last night includes guardrails intended to give an illusion of protection for license and id data there s no time before the hearing on the budget compromise scheduled for monday morning in the senate budget committee for legislators to assess whether those guardrails will be effective but to anyone aware of the real threat it s apparent that they are a sham that was inevitable as we ve pointed out in our previous statements to the legislature once this data is transferred to aamva components of the dhs or other federal or state law enforcement agencies will be able to obtain it from aamva by court order such a subpoena or warrant could and probably would include a gag order prohibiting aamva from disclosing it to the state of california or to the individuals whose data is disclosed even after the fact neither california nor individual californians will know that this has happened or be able to challenge it that data could be misused in many ways but it s especially likely be weaponized against immigrant and transgende californians who are already being targeted by federal agencies and other states the summary of the proposed transportation budget trailer bill ab 169 released last night says that it limits data sharing to only that required by federal law but that s not true compliance with the real id by california or any other state is optional not required neither the federal real id act nor any other federal law requires or could require california or any other state to share any data with aamva a private nonprofit corporation as we pointed out in our earlier testimony on the budget proposal california has a choice the state could and should say no to premature capitulation to dhs threats the legislature should reject this compromise sell out instead the state through its attorney general could and should prepare to defend californians against any interference by the dhs or transportation security administration tsa with our right to travel edward hasbrouck posted in real id 3 comments jun 24 2026 arizona governor vetoes bill to end real id compliance arizona governor katie hobbs has vetoed a bill which would have ended the state s compliance with the federal real id act like many other states arizona gives applicants for driver s licenses or non driver ids two options a travel id that is issued in accordance with procedures that satisfy the requirements of the real id act or a non compliant non travel license or id that is valid for driving or other state purposes but isn t valid for federal purposes hb2957 would have required the arizona department of transportation to continue to offer this option of driver s license and ids that don t comply with the real id act hb2957 would have added the requirement that information about these noncompliant licenses and ids and the arizona residents who choose them not be shared with other states and not be stored in any interstate federal or international database system including the state pointer exchange services spexs the national id database hosted by the american association of motor vehicle administrators aamva since 2024 arizona has been sharing the contents of its database of both travel and non travel licenses and ids with other states and has uploaded excerpts from each license of either type compliant or noncompliant to the spexs national id database the point of hb2957 is to end this practice people who choose a non compliant license or id think they have opted out of the national data sharing and national id database that is the goal of the real id act to make that opt out real hb2957 would have required arizona to discontinue uploads of data about noncompliant non travel arizona licenses and ids to spexs but aamva requires a state that wants to participate in spexs to upload data about all licenses and ids the state has issued regardless of whether they are issued in accordance with real id act procedures even if aamva a private nonprofit corporation not subject to any of the decision making rules applicable to state or federal government agencies decided to change its rules allowing state residents to opt out of national sharing of their license data would render all licenses issued by that state noncompliant with the real id act the real id act requires that to meet the requirements of this section a state shall provide electronic access to all other states to information contained in the motor vehicle database of the state and maintain a state motor vehicle database that contains at a minimum all data fields printed on drivers licenses and identification cards issued by the state if a state withholds data about some licenses and ids from this data sharing that state won t be in compliance with the real id act and for a license or id to be compliant it must both be 1 issued in accordance with compliant procedures and 2 issued by a compliant sate if the state as a whole is noncompliant none of the licenses or ids it issues will be compliant regardless of what issuance procedures are followed hb2957 was approved by both chambers of the arizona legislature by substantial majorities but not by the 2 3 vote required to override a veto gov hobbs veto letter says only that the bill fails to strengthen required federal identification verification safeguards that keep our state safe there s no indication of how gov hobbs thinks a private national id database keeps anyone safe gov hobbs is a democrat and the majority of members of both chambers of the arizona legislature are republicans this isn t a partisan issue though next door to arizona in california a democratic majority legislature is fighting the democratic governor to keep californians data out of the spexs database hb2957 is likely to be reintroduced in the arizona legislature next year edward hasbrouck posted in
