AI-assisted source summary · not independently verified. Content standards

Utah is forming an alliance involving governors from multiple states to advance a state-level governance framework for digital identity credentials, advocating that individuals own their identity data and control the scope of its disclosure. Utah has passed a digital identity “Bill of Rights” and will begin developing related technology once the policy framework is completed; the alliance members have not yet been announced. By January, the legislative or administrative bodies of 10 states will participate in an identity governance framework modeled on Utah’s approach. Currently, 21 states and Puerto Rico issue digital identities.
