Minnesota edging closer to Real ID compliance

Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Scott Dibble said he is committed to passing a law this session to implement the federal government’s Real ID requirements, ensuring Minnesotans can board commercial airliners and enter federal buildings in the future.

Department of Public Safety leaders told senators Monday that the new ID program would cost between $4.3 and $5.1 million, an expense that includes producing new cards, training driver’s license agents and upgrading the state motor vehicle computer system.
