"As the May 11, 2008 implementation deadline of the Real ID Act approaches," says an introduction to the page, "states are facing an uncertain future. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has failed to release regulations and Congress has appropriated only $40 million to assist states with the implementation. Without adequate assistance from the federal government and regulations to guide state efforts to implement the Real ID Act, state driver's license security is at a stand still."
