I haven't read every word of this bill, but it seems it calls for standards for the states to issue driver's license, not a national ID or Driver's license. Educate me if I'm not seeing it please.

People are so against a national ID, that the feds are doing an end run by tying databases together. It will be run by the states and still be a national ID.
This is potentially so bad, that I'd firmly support doing away with driver's licenses at the state level if the feds refuse to see the faws in this idea.

You are correct. However, once the federal government sets the "standard" for a Drivers License, (which I may add has always been a STATE function), the state only becomes the issuing agency. The only way that the feds can insure compliance it to keep up with the licenses.
