House Agrees To Repeal Real Id Ban In Louisiana

(AP) — The Louisiana House agreed on Wednesday to repeal a law that prohibited state officials from issuing driver's licenses with federally mandated security features that many viewed as a privacy intrusion. The head of Louisiana State Police, Col. Mike Edmonson, said that out of more than three dozen requirements, Louisiana needs to do only two things to move in line with the federal law: scan into a database and store the birth certificates of anyone with a driver's license and remove the state law prohibiting compliance. Lawmakers in 2008 rejected the added security requirements for a driver's license as too intrusive. [...] the federal government has scrapped many of the items that generated concern, such as requiring electronic tracking chips in driver's licenses.
