House Resolution No. urges the United States Congress to postpone the implementation of the REAL ID Act until 2026. The resolution highlights that the REAL ID Act, enacted in 2005, mandates enhanced security standards for identification, which will be required for boarding domestic flights and accessing certain federal facilities starting May 7, 2025. It notes that only 25% of Louisiana drivers have obtained a REAL ID compliant license as of November 2024, and various factors, including the pandemic and inconsistent application procedures, have contributed to residents' delays in acquiring the necessary identification.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the deadline approaches, and calls for additional time for Louisiana residents to familiarize themselves with the application process and obtain their REAL IDs. It requests that a copy of the resolution be sent to the presiding officers of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, as well as to each member of Louisiana's congressional delegation, to advocate for the proposed delay.
