Washington sues to protect personal information of millions of drivers

Attorney General Nick Brown joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the state of Pennsylvania today in filing two lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s demand for states to turn over records containing the sensitive personal information of 17 million drivers who hold commercial driver’s licenses. The Trump administration has threatened to terminate more than $10 million in federal funding to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) if the states refuse this illegal order.
