Great News! Texas Becomes the 27th State to File a Resolution or Bill Against the "Real ID Act".

Let's support HCR 148 that was JUST filed today by Rep Carl Isett out of Lubbock!!!

Thank You, Representative Isett!

Here is a portion of the text of HCR148:

WHEREAS, The negative implications of the federal regulations are raising concerns nationwide, with 21 states currently considering legislation questioning, opposing, or refusing to carry out the requirements of the REAL ID Act and legislators from an additional 17 states having expressed their intention to do so as well; considering the obvious fiscal consequence to Texas and the considerable flaws inherent in the
federal requirements, it is incumbent on the State of Texas to act likewise; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas hereby refuse to implement the federal REAL ID Act of 2005; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate of the United States Congress, and to all the members of the Texas delegation to the congress with the request that this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
