Defining "gender" as biological sex at birth; imposing criminal and civil penalties for violating harmful and poorly defined bathroom bans; directing the division of vehicles to invalidate and reissue driver's licenses to match sex at birth; and directing the office of vital statistics to invalidate and reissue birth certificates.
