00:00Transgender drivers in Kansas will have their licenses invalidated under a new law that went into effect Thursday.
00:06The new rule passed by the state legislature's Republican supermajority overriding a veto from the state's Democratic governor requires the
00:14gender identification listed on licenses to be the same as the sex drivers were assigned at birth.
00:20About 1,700 drivers were mailed a notice to change their gender and were told there was no grace period
00:26to do so.
00:27The notice said, quote, that means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credentials will be invalid immediately
00:35and you may be subject to additional penalties if you are operating a vehicle without a valid credential.
00:40This is the latest law aimed at transgender Kansans.
00:43Other measures have focused on restricting which bathrooms, locker rooms and single sex facilities transgender people can use.
