Library of Congress Summary

The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.

2/13/2007--Introduced.
Amends the REAL ID Act of 2005 to extend the deadline by which:
(1) state drivers' licenses and identification cards must meet certain minimum federal standards to be accepted by a federal agency; and
(2) a state must meet certain minimum verification standards before issuing such licenses or cards due to the nonavailability of state electronic systems to verify such documents.
Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) to reconvene the negotiated rulemaking committee established pursuant to the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act of 2004, with the addition of any new interested parties, to:
(1) review proposed regulations to implement the minimum document requirements, and the provisions, of the REAL ID Act of 2005; and
(2) submit recommendations to the Secretary regarding appropriate modifications to such regulations and such Act.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
