Real ID bill passes Minn. House and Senate, heads to Gov. Dayton

Minnesota lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to bring the state’s driver’s licenses in line with upgraded federal security standards, finally ensuring that Minnesotans won’t have to use passports to get through airport security.

The Minnesota House voted 120-11 on Wednesday to bring the state into compliance with the federal Real ID law; the Senate followed suit later in the evening with a 57-8 vote. If signed by Gov. Mark Dayton as expected, it will allow Minnesota to follow the other 49 U.S. states in moving to upgrade their licensing systems.
