Will people now be required to sign a name, rather than just an “X”?
Kansas does this now. I think the real reason is in order to produce a more sophisticated, tamper proof drivers license. Have you noticed security checkers at the airports using black light or IR flashlights on the new licenses?
Six years to late.

70% of immigrants, legal and illegal, living in NJ seem to have North Carolina license plates. The other 30% have plates from Pennsylvania. I wonder why...
Do I still have time to buy a Class-A CDL, with tanker cert?
I can pay extra for overlooking the effective blindness in one eye!
“So if they're not going to mail it to a post office box, then these people will not receive a license or identification card and it could impede their ability to vote,” said Sarah Preston, legislative coordinator for the ACLU.
So people in small towns, who had a PO Box address all their lives (like me)would not be able to renew their license?
This is where I find 911 addressing insidious. Is it the government's job to know where everyone is? Or just the criminals? We survived more than 200 years without the government knowing where every citizen lived and how to contact them.
Just as a matter of principle I prefer not to give my physical address, I prefer that the whackos that you run into out there (grocery checkers, bank clerk) not know exactly where my house is, and where I and my beautiful lives. I've been "pursued" (they call it stalking now) by some weirdos, and I just don't want to be providing my physical address to people. Isn't that my right as a law-abiding citizen of the USA?
The great authoritarian governments of the ages (USSR under Hitler, Germany under Stalin, Cuba under Castro) kept meticulous records on their citizens.
While I certainly oppose giving licenses to illegals, I'm also uncomfortable with the amount of information on me and my life that the government demands access to. I don't commit crimes, and shouldn't have anything to be afraid of with all this. On the other hand, there have been a couple of publicized cases here in PA where Law Enforcement Officers used their position (and power) against women they had some interest in. The controls aren't tight enough to keep the head cases away from information, whether they are police, 911 dispatcher, or state employee. Don't I have a right to privacy to prevent unwanted stalking?
No the ACLU see this as a problem for the illegals!

So then is the ACLU going to step-in and argue that a state mandated photo ID is a right and that everyone should have one?
Hmmmmmm. Could make the Indiana ruling on voting and photo ID interesting.
