Subcommittee reviews emergency amendment request to increase real-ID card stock contract
Summary
The Department of Finance and Administration requested a supplemental, expedited review to amend an IDEMIA contract that supplies encrypted card stock for Real ID issuance after a surge in applicants; committee considered the supplemental item reviewed per suspension of rules.
The committee considered a supplemental agenda item from the Department of Finance and Administration requesting an amendment to its out-of-state contract with IDEMIA Identity and Security to increase supply of encrypted card stock used for Real ID cards.
Katie Walden of the Bureau of Legislative Research told the subcommittee that a letter from DFA Secretary Jim Hudson characterized the request as an imminent need because of a “vast influx of people trying to get their Real IDs.” Walden said the contract amendment would increase the company’s capacity to provide encrypted card stock. She explained this was presented as a supplemental agenda item and the committee suspended the rules to take it up.
The committee did not record extended debate on this specific amendment and, per the meeting sequence, the supplemental item was considered reviewed after the motion to suspend rules and take up the supplemental agenda.
No statute or rule was cited in the transcript as the authority for the amendment beyond DFA’s request; committee members asked no further substantive questions on the item during the recorded discussion.
