NCISS and Lobbyit Update – In Congress and Inside the Beltway
NCISS, through our DC representatives at Lobbyit, continue to track the content and development of the various
measures proposed under the general rubric of “data privacy”. Since 2016, and almost non-stop in 2020 and into 2021,
the misleading attacks on PIs as unscrupulous violators and purveyors of driver records and other public data now sees
states and Congress working on overall legislative packages which would regulate the dissemination of these protected
records, including prohibiting PIs for legitimate purposes under existing federal and state Drivers Protection Privacy Act
criteria. This includes enhanced control over what information is allowed to be collected, and its eventual disposition.

As an Investigator, Security Agency, Process Server, or related professional… have you benefited from:
• Having access to driving records and motor vehicle information from your state DMV and private data providers?
• Having access to databases with permissible purposes under the GLBA?
• Having access to Social Security Numbers, Birthdates, Address History and other important information?
• Carry a firearm in the course of your professional duties?
• Having the ability to use a pretext for undercover operations, shopping services and other permissible purposes?
• Used the National Sex Offender Registry (Dru’s Law) for background investigations?
• Used GPS, drones and other modern technology in your investigations and security services?

If you answered YES to just one of these questions, you have directly benefitted from the more than 40-year history of
NCISS, volunteers, and support of NCISS every member. NCISS and membership have provided responsive testimony to
Congress and federal regulators, as well as assisting state associations with similar issues at the state level.

If you wonder what NCISS does for you, view NCISS as your insurance policy. You don’t make claims every day. When the
big claim comes, and the upcoming privacy fight is that “claim,” you will want NCISS protecting you at every turn.
