Remember when we all had to prove our citizenship to renew our driver's licenses a few years back? This was a result of the federal Real ID Act of 2005. It basically provides that a state must verify that one is a U.S. citizen or is here legally before issuing a license. If a license is issued as compliant with the Real ID Act, there is a star in the upper right corner of the driver’s license (“DL”), and the DL can be used as a “federal ID” to board a commercial aircraft, for example.

All U.S. states and the District of Columbia have some form of
"Good Samaritan" law that protects people and companies
from civil liability for voluntarily helping others. The foundation
for these statutes, of course, is that the person or company that
is shielded from liability did not have a hand in causing the harm
in the first place.
The details of Good Samaritan laws vary by
jurisdiction,1 including who receives protection from
liability and under what circumstances.
