Bill > HR131

This resolution urges the President of the United States to delay and ultimately eliminate the REAL ID program, citing several concerns about its implementation. The REAL ID Act, originally passed to establish national standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards, is criticized in this resolution for imposing undue burdens on citizens' freedom of movement, particularly affecting married women who may face challenges in obtaining compliant identification. The resolution argues that the program's long-delayed enforcement for domestic air travel demonstrates its unnecessary nature for national security. Furthermore, it highlights the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the program's enforcement, which creates confusion and anxiety for Americans who need to renew identification or plan travel. Specifically, the resolution calls on the President to postpone the May 9, 2025 enforcement date and requests that Congress completely eliminate the REAL ID program. As a final step, the resolution directs that copies of this document be sent to the President, Congressional leadership, and Pennsylvania's congressional representatives.
