Apr 7, 2023
The Improving Digital Identity Act proposes to establish a multi-agency “Identity Task Force” to develop secure methods for federal, state and local governments to validate identity attributes and support interoperable digital identity verification. This task force would consist of cabinet secretaries, heads of other federal agencies, state and local government officials, congressional committee designated members and a position appointed by the president. To guide the selection of digital identity solutions, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) would develop a standards framework for digital identity verification.

The task force will publish a report with recommendations on research and development in digital identity verification systems and designing a framework that will enable government agencies to securely verify citizens' identities in real-time online...
