The Act was enacted to implement the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government “set standards for the issuance...of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses.” It established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and assigned responsibility for determining whether a state is meeting these standards to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
