Montana Legislature
Montana Passes Bill to Reject Real ID Act

The Montana Legislature’s formal rejection of the Federal Real ID act seems poised to go before the governor for signing.
After little debate today, the House passed, 82 to 18, the Senate-amended version of Bozeman Democrat Brady Wiseman’s HB 287.
The Senate passed the bill unanimously last Tuesday, adding an amendment pushing the effective date of the law from kicking-in immediately to October.
The Senate opted to delay the effective date because the Dept. of Homeland Security recently opened up a public comment period for Real ID implementation and released 250 pages in proposed regulations, Wiseman said.
Taking the time to review the new regulations, Wiseman said, would allow Montana a “crystal-clear picture of our position” of non-compliance.
Montana is among a number of state legislatures throughout the country rejecting Real ID, which seeks to crack down on illegal immigration by requiring proof of residency as a minimum standard for states to issue drivers’ licenses.

The outplacement counselors in this company are using a couple of tools which surprised me and I thought everyone would appreciate the advice. They find jobs essentially by using paid services that research <a >real estate jobs</a> and charge a monthly fee. They let us use the access codes and I got to say there are some powerful tools out there for locating jobs that the majority of people do not know about. The career counselors find jobs and email them to us through two services I am aware of so far: <a >Hound</a> and <a >RealEstateAndLandCrossing</a>. These two sites are completely different but both are very good.
There are more <a >real estate jobs</a> on <a >RealEstateCrossing</a> than there are on <a >Hound</a> -but the <a >Hound site researches jobs only direct from employer webites</a> while <a >real estate jobs</a> on <a >RealEstateAndLandCrossing shows you jobs from other job boards, recruiters and so forth</a>.
The biggest difference between using these sites and ordinary job search methods is that these sites research jobs-most other sites are typically just classified advertising boards that charge employers to advertise their jobs. It is a real difference and something to look forward to if you are luck enough not to be looking for a job and have not been laid off-but may be in the future. .
