""I did not come to the Mississippi Legislature to be a spectator or to do harm dressed up as policy. I came to solve problems, to make our communities safer, and to ensure that the laws we pass actually serve the people of this state.""
""Taken as a whole, this bill does not address a pressing public safety need. It does not fix a broken system. Provisions that invalidate certain out-of-state driver's licenses may sound strong on paper, but they do little to improve the lives of Mississippians.""
State Sen. Rod Hickman of Mississippi opposes Senate Bill 2322, which would ban gender marker changes on state IDs and require 'sex at birth' on licenses. Hickman argues that the bill imposes a burden on trans individuals and does not address any pressing public safety needs. He expresses disappointment over the bill's passage and emphasizes his commitment to solving problems and serving the community rather than enacting harmful policies.
