Rauner Signs ID Act

Governor Bruce Rauner lends his signature to legislation designed to bring Illinois in line with tougher federal standards for state-issued identification cards.

 

The bill was crafted to ensure Illinois complies with the REAL ID Act and it will help residents avoid security problems at airports and federal buildings. Federal officials recently gave Illinois a two year extension to comply with the Real ID act.

 

Secretary of State Jesse White also recently revealed residents would no longer receive a license instantly at driver's license facilities.

 

The licenses are now produced at a central location with additional background checks.
