Real ID Roundup in Tennessee, Florida, New Mexico

BTC Real ID Roundup

Tennessee experiencing turbulence on material compliance with Real ID.  Two Tennessee State legislators came out to defy federal requirements on State drivers licences towards the January 15th deadline. Yesterday, legal analysts in favor of the federal mandate batted back saying most of the State was in material compliance with the law and was eligible to become certified.   For those new to Real ID, a certified Real ID license includes a gold star and the ability for a locally issued license to be considered an internal passport by federal authorities. Tennessee passed a State Law demanding the repeal of the Real ID Act. There is an internal conflict between Public Safety administration and the legal precedent established against the federal law in the State of Tennessee.
