Asserting sovereignty...

The New Hampshire State House recently...

...passed a bill prohibiting New Hampshire from participating in the federal Real ID Act, which would require state driver's licenses and ID cards to meet a federal standard.

The bill said the state finds the policy established by Congress in the Real ID Act of 2005 to be "contrary and repugnant" to the New Hampshire Constitution. Supporters of the bill called the Real ID Act a government attempt to put more restrictions on people without actually making them safer.
