S1E6 of Pennsylvania Tavern Talk has been released and covers anticipated legislation that would give drivers from the Keystone State an option to have a digitized driver’s license (DDL). You can watch this video via YouTube by clicking here.

Rep. Dan Miller in a recent cosponsorship memo to his House colleagues wrote, “Under my legislation, PennDOT would develop an app that provides users with a copy (front and back) of their license. It would allow PennDOT to apply a reasonable fee for the download, renewal and updating of the license. The bill will also allow for mobile state ID cards to be created.”
