AN ACT relative to the prohibition against participation in a national identification card system.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
372:1 Prohibition Against Participation in National Identification System. Amend 2007, 243:1, I-II to read as follows:
I.

Therefore, the state of New Hampshire shall not participate in any driver’s license program pursuant to the Real ID Act of 2005 or in any national identification card system that may follow therefrom, including PASS ID.
II. The department of safety shall not amend procedures for applying for a driver’s license under RSA 263 or an identification card under RSA 260:21 in order to comply with the goals or standards set forth in the Real ID Act of 2005 or in any national identification card system that may follow therefrom, including PASS ID, or in any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, or in any requirements adopted by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators for such purposes.
372:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
