I saw the same story. The name, address, age, & height mentioned are already obvious on licenses, but this may preclude incorrect data entry by FL cops, and counterfeiting (a problem here for *years*). I saw nothing on the digitized photo, but we could be looking at different stories. Phase-in in July, '96. The story I saw suggests that other data, such as tickets, criminal violations (presumably convictions) and "other biographical information" [welfare, credit info] could eventually be included, depending on FL's state budgetary considerations. No author, just "Associated Press," listed on the story, and the card uses a magnetic strip "like those on credit cards" rather than a chip, which may be a mistake [considering the renewal period & my experience with bank-cards]. Story doesn't say it, but it sounds like FL *may* be the first state to do this. Are any other states doing this already?
NY has Photo Drivers Permits with Mag Strips on the back and Computer Generated Pictures (I've even seen them being created when I was on an assignment at the DMV office in Albany that creates them).

Minnesota has now been doing this for over a year. There's been a lot of trouble with it, but they have them. Mine is do any day, and it will certainly come in contact with a magnet, upon my possession.

California has both the digitized picture and the mag stripe, and they even get a digital copy of your thumbprint. Hello, Brave New World.
