You might be interested to know that this amendment also repeals "Section 7212 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004" (found here: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi ?dbname=108_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ458.108) which already does most of the things the current amendment would do (as far as requirements for id's go). The biggest thing added to the id requirements by the new bill is "A common machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements."
