A privacy conscious technical solution is possible but it would cost the federal government billions.
Make drivers licenses into two factor authenticators and have the federal government host a software service that only leaves third parties with “yes” or “no” for age verified.
Why would it cost billions? If the law would only increase liability for websites that allowed kids to access specific content, industry will come up with their own solution. Might even be this one. You don't have to convert ALL licenses even though that would be nice.

Not impossible. Just very expensive.
