SANDIA NATIONAL LABS IS AGAIN ACCEPTING NEW MEXICO DRIVER’S LICENSES AS LEGAL I-D. IT RECENTLY STOPPED TAKING THE LICENSES AS I-D BECAUSE THE STATE WASN’T IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL REAL I-D ACT. BUT LAWMAKERS PASSED A BILL IN THE RECENT LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT PROVIDES IMMIGRANTS WITH DRIVER’S AUTHORIZATION CARDS INSTEAD OF LICENSES … AND GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SAYS SHE’LL SIGN IT.
THE FEDS ALSO GAVE THE STATE ANOTHER EXTENSION ON REAL I-D REQUIREMENTS UNTIL THIS COMING OCTOBER.
