State Driving ID Proposed
Rep. Colon has proposed a motion to allow the state to issue driving certificates that would allow individuals to get driver's licenses but would clearly state that the ID is not accepted by any federal agency for identification or other official purposes.
Colon said there is a population out there that is going to drive regardless of whether they can get an ID under the new federal regulations imposed by the Real ID Act, and that these people are the backbone of the dairy industry and other jobs across the state. He said there is provision for state driving certificates under the Real ID Act.
The motion failed on an 8-8 partisan vote.
