SC Senate urges governor to ask for Real ID extension
South Carolina senators have approved a resolution that urges the governor to seek an extension to comply with federal identification requirements.
The resolution already cleared the House and won a 28-7 vote in the Senate on Thursday.
Governor Mark Sanford is trying to decide whether to ask for the extension before a March 31 deadline. If there is no extension, South Carolinians may face hassles in boarding airplanes or entering federal buildings.
Sanford and other governors were on a conference call about the federal requirements with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Thursday.
The governor has said the requirements are costly and impractical.
