I must be missing something, because I don't understand why an enhanced license has to cost twice as much as a regular one. Isn't the only difference that you have to prove your citizenship/legal immigration status on the enhanced?  The burden on that is on the applicant, not the state. And maybe adding a chip that costs less than a dollar. Can't see why that costs the state an extra $54.  

$108 versus $54 is a big deal for some people. Even the $90 if this law passes is a challenge.

Over time, the only people with regular (basic) licenses will be the lowest incomes and the undocumented residents. The poor but legal citizens of our state don't need to be further stigmatized by that association. 

Make the cost $54 and $60 and you eliminate that issue. Or is this intentional to hide the undocumented residents in a sea of documented residents who don't fly or enter military bases or cross borders and don't need or want to pay for the enhanced license?
