The Anti-Real ID Bill, HB 361, passed unanimously by all members present in a Senate Committee for debate on the Senate floor.  Testimony in support of the bill was given by Rep. Jim Guest, Catherine Bleish from LRP, and a representative from the ACLU.  No testimony was given opposing the bill.

The bill also received enthusiastic support from Sen. Jolie Justus from Kansas City.  Sen. Justus also recognized the five LRP members present in the gallery from the Senate Floor.  In addition, Sen. Justus agreed to be a guest on the Liberty Restoration Hour radio show with Catherine Bleish, details upcoming.

This is a major step for this legislation as it failed to make it through Senate Committee last year.  If this bill passes, Missouri would join the many other states that have passed legislation against Real ID, such as South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Montana.  Please contact your state senator and ask them to support HB 361.
