New York put a similar law in place two years ago; FBI check, fingerprinting, photo ID. Existing officials, teachers, deliverymen, etc., had the fee waived, but my first year was in 2004, so the $99 fee was my cost, and came on top of all those first year costs like uniforms and gear. If I show up for a school game without my ID, the school has the right to not allow me to work the game. Our ID # is required information on the vouchers we complete before the game. And I don't have a problem with any of it.
vs. Fla., at least my ID is valid statewide .
