20:16Now PlayingMinnesotans will be able to use their new REAL ID driver's license to board airplanes and enter restricted federal facilities, under a bill passed by the Senate Wednesday, May 17, and sent to Governor Dayton for his signature.
For several years, Minnesota delayed action on implementing the federally-required identification requirements and is among the last states to accept the change. Senate Judiciary Chair Warren Limmer successfully argued that delay was necessary, even Tuesday when he said, "To subject ourself to a requirement by the federal government, when it is not in their enumerated powers, is simply wrong."
Bill sponsor Senator Eric Pratt, R-Prior Lake, said, "This is something Minnesotans expect us to get done." The bill passed on a 57-8 vote.
