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.
