DIGEST: Good bill- Bad bill, Expanded Presidential Cyberpowers


Two months ago, REAL-ID went into effect in Florida and many residents are having problems proving their identities to obtain the new driver’s licenses. Florida is one of the few states complying with the law as many states have said that REAL-ID is too expensive to implement and the federal government has extended the deadline several times.

GOOD BILL v. BAD BILL
This gets confusing. They all have the same numbers!

GOOD BILLS
HR 3471: REAL ID repeal and Identity Security Enhancement Act of 2009
HR 3741: Help for children debilitated due to government sponsored vaccine campaigns

BAD BILL
H.R. 3174: Photo Identification Security Act
Why it's bad: Requires photo identity to be imported onto Social Security Cards and a Real ID Act compliant ID to be able to open a bank account.
