Cogressman Rogers Announces Funding
U.S. Rep. Harold “Hal” Rogers (KY-05) announced today that Kentucky is eligible for just over $1 million in U.S. Department of Homeland Security funds to help ensure the integrity of driver’s licenses.
This national initiative, known as REAL ID, standardizes driver’s licenses and protects against fraud and identity theft.
“Ensuring the right person has access to driver’s licenses is important to our national security, while guarding against the growing problem of identity theft,” said Rogers. “This investment will help ensure that Kentucky has the resources to develop more secure forms of identification.”
As a senior member of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee, Rogers works to secure funding for important public safety initiatives throughout Kentucky.
