But what about the complaints that it doesn't address document fraud, in fact intentionally ignores it, therefore all its provisions are basically unenforceable? After all, document fraud is the easiest thing in the world. Is that a valid complaint about this bill?

I notice in the above AP (read toilet journalism) article, one line towards the end says the legislature will take up document fraud at sometime in the future.

Is this law sound and fury, but no substance, meant to appear to fix the problem until an amnesty is passed?

Or am I just way too cynical?

...complaints that it doesn't address document fraud, in fact intentionally ignores it, therefore.

I was unaware of the lack of document fraud provisions--that is a serious oversight. Nonetheless, the law may be flawed but it is at least a start and the legislature is at least 'acting' as though they are listening to their constituents.
