requirements have been passed by the Illinois General Assembly.

Wrote a proposal for hand-held tablet devices to be used by Agency Road Test Examiners, and by Field Representatives for

mainframe. This proposal was created in order to bring the Department closer to a paperless system and to help alleviate fraud,
