"If you have received this notice, your current Kansas credential will no longer be valid. The Legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials. Once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately, and you may be subject to additional penalties if you are operating a vehicle without a valid credential."
"Hours after lawmakers overrode Kelly's veto of Senate Bill 244, the state began mailing notices informing transgender Kansans that driver's licenses and state IDs listing a gender different from their sex assigned at birth must be surrendered immediately. The change affects transgender residents whose gender markers on driver's licenses and birth certificates had previously been corrected."
Kansas implemented one of the country's most aggressive rollbacks of transgender legal recognition after the Republican-controlled legislature overrode Governor Laura Kelly's veto of Senate Bill 244. The law immediately invalidated driver's licenses and state IDs for transgender residents whose gender markers did not match their sex assigned at birth. More than 1,500 residents received official notices declaring their credentials no longer valid, with no transition period provided. The law also prevents future changes to gender markers on driver's licenses and birth certificates. Affected individuals face potential penalties for operating vehicles without valid credentials.
