I think the change of address issue WRT this law can be an inconvenience for some, but I don't see how it's any bigger a deal than any other change of address. People move, addresses change, and databases are updated to reflect the changes. I think a much bigger issue is that individual state agencies would be forced, at great expense, to tie themselves together into what is essentially a large Federal bureaucracy.
