119th (2025–2027)
S. 2769
This bill would repeal Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005, which established federal standards for state driver's licenses and identification documents used for federal purposes like boarding airplanes and entering federal buildings. The legislation affects state governments, federal agencies, and the general public by eliminating these identity verification requirements in the name of protecting privacy and civil liberties. The bill also makes corresponding changes to remove references to REAL ID requirements from other laws, including provisions related to benefits for Afghan nationals and state grants under the Social Security Act. No new funding is authorized or appropriated by this legislation, and there is no specified implementation timeline beyond the repeal itself.
