Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution states:
"Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts,
records, and judicial proceedings of every other State.  And the
Congress may, by general laws prescribe the manner is which such acts,
records, and proceedings shall be proved, AND THE EFFECT THEREOF."
Looks to me like it would be perfectly Constitutional for Congress to
pass such a law.  And it wouldn't force Texans to obey some
Massachusetts law while in Texas.  That's a different case entirely.
