Introduced by Rep. Paul Opsommer (R) on October 15, 2008, to prohibit the issuance of drivers licenses that contain a radio frequency identification device (RFID), and prohibit the Secretary of State from providing information from or access to databases containing individual drivers license data to a foreign government or non-governmental third party entity, except for law enforcement officials when related to a specific individual criminal investigation. The bill would also prohibit the state from entering a compact that requires it to take fingerprints or retina scans in connection with getting a drivers license, or having to check whether an individual owns firearms.
- Referred to the House Transportation Committee on October 15, 2008.

one has to wonder why the state would NEED to collect any of this data, fingerprints, retina scans, and whereabouts tracking with R.F.I.D.?

this 'tracking' serves no legitimate government purpose, so why are they so 'hot to trot' to get it done?

it seems that our state government is delving into ILLEGITIMATE dealings with it's citizens, or with SOMEBODY. i wonder why?

Finally something that I can agree with. No to RFID, and any connection to another data base particularly, identifyable data.
