GOVERNOR MARTINEZ WILL NOT CALL A SPECIAL SESSION TO GET NEW MEXICO COMPLIANT WITH THE FEDERAL REAL ID ACT. SPOKESMAN MICHAEL LONERGAN TELLS 770 KKOB THE GOVERNOR HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPEAL THE LAW ALLOWING THOSE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALY TO GET DRIVERS LICENSES, BUT HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY SENATE DEMOCRATS.
LAST WEEK, THE GOVERNMENT SAID NEW MEXICO WILL GET NO MORE EXTENSIONS TO COMPLY WITH THE REAL ID ACT. THAT MEANS, STARTING IN JANUARY, NEW MEXICO DRIVERS LICENSES WILL NO LONGER BE VALID TO GET INTO FEDERAL FACILITIES, INCLUDING MILITARY BASES.
