FILE encourages the introduction of the bill in other states. The bill clarifies the types of identification local government entities may accept for the disbursement of those public services that require the recipient to produce identification.

FILE feels confident a large majority of Americans will find the bill to be simple common sense, and legislators will quickly see the bill as politically popular as well as good public policy.
