What questions does your jurisdiction have as a result of the passing of the Real ID Act?

The law is ambiguous regarding whether this means that current valid documents are grandfathered or whether
a general reissuance of all documents that comply with the federal law is required.

If your jurisdiction has done an impact analysis please provide us with a copy of the analysis.

Additional Comments from E-mail Message:

It is very difficult to put into just a few words the impact of the Real ID requirements. I believe that
Nebraska will be greatly impacted by the federal standards. By statute we are tied to using the county
treasurers (locally elected
officials) as agents for the DMV. The counties issue all of the documents. This process does not lend itself
well to complying with the new federal standards. Nebraska may have to consider extreme measures and possibly a
complete reorganization depending on what the DHS rule dictates. DHS must issue this rule in a timely fashion.
