NCISS and Your State Associations – Working Together

NCISS, working with state associations, is asking for help with the following:
• Who has a state DMV / Data / Privacy bill?
• Do you think it will pass or does it have enough support?
• How can NCISS and other associations assist?

The impetus for these restrictive bills we are low hanging fruit due to misconceptions of being shady and unprofessional.
