Press release: “Senator Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI) and Senator John E. Sununu (R-NH) introduced legislation [on December 8, 2006] to repeal Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005, which they believe places an unrealistic and unfunded burden on state governments and erodes Americans’ civil liberties and privacy rights. The Identification Security Enhancement Act (S. 4117) replaces REAL ID with language from the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-458), which took a more measured approach in mandating tougher standards for drivers’ licenses and identification cards by requiring that the new guidelines be developed by a shared rulemaking process that would involve all key stakeholders, including state governments and privacy experts.”
