Real ID squabbles continue
Homeland Security officials on Monday again prodded states to adopt standards for driver’s licenses as described by the federal Real ID Act. Four states — Maine, Montana, New Hampshire and South Carolina — have yet to seek an extension. States have until the end of the month to seek an extension, or their residents will not be able to board domestic flights using a driver’s license come May, reports the Associated Press. According to the report, officials in Maine and Montana said they would not seek an extension. A spokesman for South Carolina’s governor said he was still considering it. New Hampshire passed a law last year prohibiting the state from participating in the Real ID program. Last week, the legislature in West Virginia also contested Real ID. CNET’s news blog has an update.
