Biden admin proposes 2-year delay of enforcement of ID rules to board planes day after 9/11 anniversary
Fox News
The Biden administration proposed a new rule Thursday that does not extend the REAL ID May 7, 2025 deadline but would delay full enforcement to 2027.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" on Thursday, a day after the 23-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The TSA emphasized that the "proposed rule does not extend the REAL ID deadline."
The notice aims to ensure that federal agencies "have appropriate flexibility to implement the card-based enforcement provisions of the REAL ID regulations after the May 7, 2025, enforcement deadline by explicitly permitting agencies to implement card-based enforcement in phases," according to the proposal's summary. "This rulemaking proposes that agencies may implement the card-based enforcement provisions through a phased enforcement plan if they determine it is appropriate upon consideration of relevant factors including security, operational feasibility, and public impact."
