Gov signs off on law blocking Real ID Act in PA | PA Independent: "HARRISBURG — This week, Gov. Tom Corbett signed into law a measure making Pennsylvania the 16th and most populous state to oppose the federal Real ID Act.
The federal program was enacted in 2005 to create national standards and a national database for drivers’ licenses by requiring states to connect their existing information electronically. It also added costs to verify documents necessary to apply for a license, such as birth certificates and Social Security cards.
Several national organizations estimated that law would cost at least $11 billion annually over a five-year period to implement nationally.
Pennsylvania would have paid about $140 million in the first year and another $40 million annually, the state Department of Transportation estimated."
