Actually I think that Wikipedia link provides the reason so many states are not fully compliant, according to that link: "Each state must agree to share its motor vehicle database with all other states. This database must include, at a minimum, all the data printed on the state drivers' licenses and ID cards, plus drivers' histories (including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and points on licenses)." States do not like to share driver history. I presume because so many drivers don't want their history shared from state to state? I know that my CDL history is shared; but it would not surprise me if there are not influential drivers that have multiple tickets in states that don't share information.
This is actually an appropriate division of state and federal government for once. States make their own licenses, but the fed agency can choose to accept or not without mandating anything.
They are mandating the states to change their license. Not much of a choice here. That is the problem with the federal government regarding the states, the feds hold all the power.

Except it's not appropriate for government to get involved with making an ID law for legal adults wanting the services of a private business. Leave it up to each airline. Get rid of the TSA while we are at it.
You probably wouldn't mind being micro-chipped either. Good citizen.
Too late.
Last Thursday, the House passed HR 4919, also known as Kevin and Avonte’s Law, which would allow the US attorney general to award grants to law enforcement for the creation and operation of “locative tracking technology programs.” Though the program’s mission is to find “individuals with forms of dementia or children with developmental disabilities who have wandered from safe environments,” it provides no restriction on the tracking program’s inclusion of other individuals.
Gohmert’s assessment is spot-on. Giving local police the authority to decide who is microchipped and who is not based on their mental soundness is a recipe for disaster. Though the bill specifically mentions those with Alzheimer’s and autism, how long before these tracking programs are extended to those with ADHD and bipolar disorder, among other officially recognized disorders.
I'm sure you hear lots of things that aren't really there.
what I didn't hear was you answering the question
