HARRISBURG, Feb. 5 – As the deadline for Real ID enforcement in Pennsylvania draws nearer, state Rep. Joe Webster has introduced legislation that would waive the fee for one of the documents required in the process. “One of the documents required to obtain a Real ID is proof of any legal name changes.
