A RIVAL BILL TO GET NEW MEXICO IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL REAL I-D ACT IS INTRODUCED IN THE STATE SENATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE MEASURE IS SIMILAR TO HOUSE BILL 99 … WHICH PASSED IN THE HOUSE AND WOULD SET UP A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM GIVING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS A DRIVER PRIVILEGE CARD INSTEAD OF A LICENSE. THE SENATE BILL ALSO CREATES A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM … BUT CITIZENS COULD GET A LICENSE THAT COMPLIES WITH THE REAL I-D ACT … OR GET THE STATE LICENSE THAT DOESN’T MEET FEDERAL STANDARDS.
PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY COULD ALSO APPLY FOR A SECOND LICENSE.
