(Harrisburg, PA) Pennsylvania is a step closer to allowing digital driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations after the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed two bills this week authorizing the technology. 

One measure, sponsored by Manuel Guzman of Berks County, would permit digital vehicle registration cards. A second bill, introduced by Ed Neilson of Philadelphia, would allow residents to use digital driver’s licenses or state identification cards. 

Both measures passed with bipartisan support.
