They're not trying so hard to pass this law just to make sites add a fucking drop-down box.

It's a double-edged sword, but our society's litigious nature and proclivity to interpreting vaguely/poorly worded laws/mandates in whatever way is most beneficial to the corporation works to our benefit here.
If it just requires the website to verify the age of a user without further details, then a Yes/No box is quite literally "verifying it". It's not a very reliable way to truly verify it, but that's not our problem. If politicians want to require Real ID so they know what porn we watch (which is obviously what they're attempting), then make them put that in bold clear lettering in a follow up bill. Let everyone know exactly what they're pushing for.
