Generally, I'm perfectly fine with everyone's footprint, or fingerprints being taken at birth, and put in the central database. Of course, then you have an issue with amputation. Of course, these days, a DNA sample can be taken instead.
A Retinal scan also works. Facial Rec works pretty well these days, too.
When he hired in, he told the "JC" he was in the Guard and would be taking off for two weeks every summer for training. The "JC" spouted the expected "we support the Guard and Reserve". A few months later, when his Guard unit was headed to Campe Grayling for two weeks training, the "JC" said "NO". So the guy had a choice of quitting the Guard, or quitting the job. iirc, he quit the job.
Your guy should have reported that outfit to the State of Michigan. Screwing with a Guardsman's federally mandated service is a serious no-no, and the feds would have come down on them for that.
The folks in Florida would care. Federal funding for things like roads and schools are keyed to population. If 20% of the state population is using the roads and the schools, but not being counted for Federal funding, that puts the state in a budget bind.
Florida can adapt.
