Statement from the Office of Governor Chafee Regarding Data Sharing with the National Counterterrorism Center

A recent press release from the American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island reports that the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles is one of 15 states sharing biometric data from drivers’ licenses with the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).

In regards to this allegation, Governor Lincoln D. Chafee said: “On August 20, 2014, Anthony Silva, the Administrator for the DMV, received a letter inquiring about the reported transfer of data to NCTC. Since the receipt of the letter, my administration has done an investigation and has found no evidence of the proactive sharing of information with the NCTC. I look forward to working with the Rhode Island ACLU on this issue.”
