Feds give TEMPORARY break to La. on driver license rules

LAKE CHARLES, La. —
Louisiana driver’s licenses still don’t comply with federal law, but the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has granted the state a temporary break.

That means travelers won’t need passports to fly within the United States, the American Press reported.

The Real ID Act of 2005 requires identification cards to meet standards to enter federal buildings or board commercial flights.
