CARSON CITY, Nev. - The director of the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles says steps have been taken to prevent the fraudulent issuance of driver’s licenses.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal (New rules aim to prevent fraud at DMV offices - News - ReviewJournal.com ) Bruce Breslow told a legislative audit committee Thursday that the agency set up a secondary review process after the arrest last year of Nancy Brown in Las Vegas.

Brown pleaded guilty in federal court in December to bribery charges. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and will be sentenced March 6. Justice Department officials charged her with unlawfully issuing 214 licenses to illegal immigrants. She admitted accepting bribes of $70,000 to $120,000.
