(AP) — Kentuckians
would have to pay $48 to get a new driver's license beginning in 2019
in order to board domestic flights under a bill that has cleared the Senate and
is moving through the House.
The bill
would update Kentucky's driver's license procedures to comply with
the federal Real ID Act. To get the new license, Kentuckians would
have to show their birth certificate and two proofs of
residency. Kentucky already requires these documents to obtain a
license, but not to renew it.
The new license
would have a star in the top right corner, surrounded by a gold circle. All
other information would stay the same.
The license
would be optional. But beginning in 2020, anyone without the new license
would need a passport or other acceptable ID to board a domestic flight.
