THERE’S A LOT OF CONFUSION OUT THERE OVER REAL I-D AND NEW MEXICO DRIVERS LICENSES. THAT’S ACCORDING TO STATE SENATOR DANIEL IVEY-SOTO. HE SAYS THE FEDS HAVE SAID WE’LL GET AT LEAST A 120 DAY NOTICE BEFORE OUR LICENSES WON’T BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BOARD A PLANE.
HE SAYS TIME IS ON OUR SIDE WITH THIS ISSUE. HE SAYS THE STATE HAS UNTIL APRIL BEFORE THAT GOES INTO EFFECT. IVEY-SOTO EXPECTS THE LEGISLATURE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED BY THEN.
AS FOR FEDERAL FACILITIES SUCH AS KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, IVEY-SOTO SAYS BASE-ISSUED PASSES WILL STILL BE GOOD AND THOSE WITHOUT ONE MAY SIMPLY HAVE TO SHOW A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD ALONG WITH THEIR LICENSE.
