Suspends fees in connection with a REAL ID driver's license until 2027
This bill suspends all fees for REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses and non-driver ID cards until December 31, 2027. It also requires the state to refund fees paid since January 1, 2017, for these IDs. The policy directly affects New York residents who hold or renew REAL ID licenses, eliminating costs for applications, processing, and photos. The refund provision covers all fees paid for these IDs issued before their renewal period since 2017. The fee suspension ends automatically on January 1, 2028.
