Safeguarding Personal Information Act of 2025

The Safeguarding Personal Information Act of 2025 repeals Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005, which previously required states to meet specific standards for identification documents used for federal purposes like accessing federal buildings or boarding commercial flights. This change directly affects states that issue driver's licenses or state IDs, as they will no longer need to comply with the federal REAL ID requirements for these documents. The bill also removes references to REAL ID from related laws, including provisions for benefits for Afghanistan nationals and state grants under the Social Security Act. The primary effect is eliminating a federal mandate for state ID standards, shifting responsibility back to states without creating new privacy protections.
