California has been offered $3.2 million from the federal government to implement the REAL ID act administered by the Department of Homeland Security. The money is meant to go toward standardizing state drivers licenses by the first day of 2010.

California DMV Director George Valverde, in a letter to Homeland Security on March 18, stated, "While we acknowledge that a workable REAL ID program may create positive results, a significant number of outstanding issues need to be addressed before we can make any kind of recommendation regarding implementation of REAL ID in California."

The state legislature must approve of the grant before the DMV can spend it. For now, the $3.2 million is just dangling there.
