There's DHCP that most routers have built in that can be used to automatically assign an IP address. You can set the expiration period to anything you want, at which time it will assign a new IP. Unfortunately it will tend to assign the same IP address over and over again unless it gets snatched up by another computer between release and renew.

If it's anonymity you want then you need to use proxies to mask your router's IP address. TOR is a pretty simple solution.
Because the way this new law is written ANYONE running a nat'ed router (which is just about everyone) would be required to keep a log file of what internal IP address was used with what PC. If the router keeps assigning new internal IP's moment to moment.....
