Committee Proposes Drivers License Standards
A House GOP policy committee met last week to discuss implementing minimum uniform standards for the issuance of drivers licenses. House Select Committee on Homeland Security Chair Christopher Cox (R-CA) argued that driver's licenses can be easily falsified and proposed requiring Social Security Number's to receive a license. The committee also discussed state-to-state sharing of license information. While Cox denied any desire to establish a national ID system, such measures might set a precedent in this direction.
