•
Continue REAL ID positions in FY 2022 Decision Package
  Retains positions hired to address the workload associated with REAL ID. The full issuance of REAL ID licenses and identification cards has been delayed by the onset of COVID-19. These positions are necessary to continue the issuance of REAL ID cards in compliance with federal deadlines. No additional funding is required for these positions since they will be paid for out of the $10 REAL ID surcharge approved during the 2019 legislative session.
