Pennsylvania has been granted an extension until June 5, 2017 from the Department of Homeland Security to fix state law to allow for federal REAL ID compliance.
The extension will allow the Wolf administration, including the Pa. Department of Transportation to work with the General Assembly to resolve Pennsylvania’s non-compliance during the current legislative session.
DHS told state leaders that additional extensions may be granted, as necessary, once the commonwealth can commit to meeting all REAL ID requirements.
This extension means that on January 30th of this year, Pennsylvanians will no longer face immediate access issues when entering federal facilities.
