The PASS ID Act of 2009 is a proposed law designed to standardize photographic identification documents throughout the United States. Because the law does not contain explicit protections for religious headcoverings,  and because high-level bureaucrats at the Department of Homeland Security have the power to conclude that headcoverings should not be worn in identification photographs, SALDEF has expressed grave concern about the matter. We do not want a situation where state governments force Sikh Americans to remove their dastaars (turbans) as a condition to receiving critical identification documents.  Write to your Senator now to express your concern about the PASS ID Act of 2009!
