Florida announces restrictions on Vermont licenses

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the passing of a law could render driver’s licenses and other forms of identification from several states invalid, including Vermont.

As of July 1, in addition to Vermont, four other states’ IDs will face extra scrutiny from police, as they may provide forms of identification to applicants who do not give proof of citizenship or legal status:

Delaware
Connecticut
Hawaii
Rhode Island
The law directs Florida police officers to write a ticket to anyone they pull over who has what is now recognized as an invalid license.

    The bill specifically states forms of identification, not licenses to drive. I’m not sure identification would fit the definition of full faith and credit, since every state gets to decide what identification means and is required for.

    Driver’s licenses are a different story. Those would be respected if valid in another state.

    Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

    Not saying it’s right, but it’s probably legal.
