This bill establishes a task force within the Executive Office of the President to develop a government-wide approach to digital identity verification. The task force will assess how federal, state, local, and tribal agencies can securely verify people's identities online by creating digital versions of physical identity documents like driver's licenses, passports, and birth certificates. The task force will be led by a presidentially appointed director with expertise in digital identity management and will include representatives from relevant federal agencies, state and local governments, privacy experts, cybersecurity specialists, and industry representatives. The bill explicitly prohibits the creation of a single national ID card or mandate requiring citizens to use digital identity systems. The task force has three years to complete its work and must submit reports starting at 180 days after enactment, with a final report due before the task force concludes, along with an additional government-wide accountability report on federal agency progress in implementing digital identity capabilities.
