Driver's license fees could jump 300 percent with new law, official says

AUSTIN (AP) - Texans applying for or renewing drivers' licenses could pay much higher fees and wait in longer lines once a federal law standardizing cost takes effect in 2008, a state lawmaker says.

Texas fees could jump to more than $100 from the current $24, a 300 percent increase, when the federal government begins requiring states to issue uniform drivers' licenses, what many consider a de facto national identification card, said state Sen. Leticia Van De Putte, D-San Antonio.

The change also would eliminate online and mail renewals and would require renewing motorists to produce Social Security cards and birth certificates in person at Department of Public Safety offices.

Van De Putte got briefed on the new state-issued, federally approved licenses because next month she will become president of the National Conference of State Legislatures.

yeah but how else are the hippie leeches going to get their communis--- ehh, socialized health care system? because people can't just show up and get it for free like they already do now, so we need a huge project and system to track it all, duh.

this is exactly the kind of thing that happens when the fucking left bitches and whines and lobbies and wastes taxpayer dollars trying to get, and then complains when it actually happens because the government is "intruding" and "trying to control their lives".





and why should our government have the right to know who is actually in this country? that's just crazy talk.

Communism and Socialism are actually two very different things.

Just FYI.
