One of the things on Old Va's legislative hot list this year was REAL ID.

To be honest, I haven't had to work very hard with members of the General Assembly. Many legislators were way ahead of me and a number of bills, telling the Fed's ...no thanks, were introduced. Here's the status of one bill and it looks like It's a done deal!

HB 1587 REAL ID Act; State will not comply with provision thereof that they determine would compromise.
