NH Signs Bill That Rejects Federal Real ID 231
jcatcw writes "New Hampshire is part of a trend to oppose the federal Real ID act. The governor this week signed a bill that forbids state agencies from complying with the controversial federal regulation. The Real ID law, first passed by Congress in 2005, currently requires that all state driver's licenses and other identification cards include a digital photograph and a bar code that can be scanned by electronic readers. Such a federally approved ID card or document would be required for people entering a federal building, nuclear power plant and commercial airplane. The New Hampshire bill, which labeled the Real ID Act as "contrary and repugnant" to the New Hampshire and U.S. Constitutions, was passed in the state Senate by a 24-0 vote in late May."

Indeed, a sensible question about how this country is run. I think it's fair to assume you're not American right?

Pfft... as long as it isn't what gas formula is allowed, what light bulbs you should use, how many gallons yer terlit can use, how many gal/min your shower can output, how you dispose of your plastic, paper, glass, metal, or just about anything, how much insulation your house has, how many fire alarms you have, how your electric box is wired, where you can smoke. Other than that (and a million other regulations), they don't take no guff from anyone!!
