45 WHEREAS, the Legislature finds that the federal REAL ID Act
46 of 2005 has created an undue hardship for many residents of this
47 state due to the excessive documents that must be produced to
48 obtain or renew a driver license or identification card, most
49 notably, women who have changed their names due to marriage,
50 divorce, or by being widowed, and
51 WHEREAS, the cost to comply with the REAL ID Act as enacted
52 in this state in 2008 is excessive, and
53 WHEREAS, not all residents desire to obtain a federal
54 identification card that must be used to access federal
55 facilities, board federally regulated commercial aircraft, enter
56 nuclear power plants, or for other purposes as determined by the
57 Secretary of Homeland Security, as required by the REAL ID Act,
58 and
59 WHEREAS, Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005 allows a state
60 to “opt out” of creating a federal driver license or
61 identification card by continuing to issue a regular driver
62 license or identification card if it is marked appropriately,
63 and
64 WHEREAS, in 2013, the Legislature passed HB 7059, chapter
65 2013-1, Laws of Florida, to give relief to foreign tourists from
66 excessive driver license regulation and passed House Bill 235 to
67 give relief to certain immigrants by a federal “Deferred Action”
68 letter, and
69 WHEREAS, in 2014, House Bill 53 proposes to assist
70 convicted criminals in obtaining the documents needed to obtain
71 a REAL ID, and
72 WHEREAS, such relief has not benefited the residents of
73 this state in the process of obtaining or renewing their
74 licenses or identification cards, and these residents have not
75 been afforded equal treatment before the law as required by s.
76 2, Article I of the State Constitution, and
77 WHEREAS, it is necessary and proper to give similar relief
78 to the residents of this state, NOW, THEREFORE,
79
80 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
