West Virginia HB5514 prohibits the state from implementing the REAL ID Act of 2005.

West Virginia HB5514 aims to prevent the state from participating in the mandatory implementation of the REAL ID Act of 2005, which sets national standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and nondriver identification cards. The bill asserts that the Act is contrary to the security and well-being of West Virginians, and it violates the principles of federalism. The Department of Transportation and the Division of Motor Vehicles are directed to cease implementing the Act and report any attempts by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to enforce it.
