The State | IN BRIEF / OAKLAND

January 24, 2002|From Times Wire Reports

CALIFORNIA — The city's Public Safety Committee unanimously has approved a resolution to accept foreign-issued identification cards as legal IDs.

If the City Council accepts the resolution in two weeks, Oakland would become the second U.S. city-- after San Francisco in November--to pass such a law.

The resolution, approved Tuesday, requests that the Oakland Police Department, the Alameda County Sheriff's Department and other public service agencies recognize foreign-issued ID cards as official identification.
