S. 4133 would provide flexibility to states to meet the standards established in the Real ID
Act of 2005 for identification documents that are enforced by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). The bill also would allow states to accept identity documents that are
transmitted electronically if DHS issues regulations regarding such transmission and states
certify with DHS that they are in compliance.

DHS  currently allows states to accept identity information electronically in some
circumstances. Using information obtained from the department, CBO  expects that
broadening the rules regarding electronically transmitted documents and tracking state
certifications would not require significant DHS staff or resources. On that basis, CBO
estimates that implementing the legislation would cost less than $500,000 over the
2021-2025  period.

The bill contains intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates  Reform  Act (UMRA).   CBO  estimates that the aggregate cost of the
intergovernmental and private-sector mandates would fall below the UMRA  thresholds
($84 million and $168 million in 2020, respectively, adjusted annually for inflation).

S. 4133 would require states to ensure the security of the production location and of the
materials, records, and data from which drivers' licenses and identification cards are
