ACLU of Kansas Veto Request to Laura Kelly on H Sub SB 244

We sent Gov. Kelly a letter requesting her veto on H Sub for SB 244.

Extremists in our Kansas legislature are doing everything they can to suppress advocate voices from being heard by limiting opportunities for public comment. But trans, intersex, and nonbinary people will be heard, and we will continue to fight for their constitutionally enshrined rights. That's why we sent Gov. Kelly a letter requesting her veto on H Sub for SB 244: Requiring the designation of multiple-occupancy private spaces in public buildings for use by only one sex and imposing criminal and civil penalties for violations, defining the term "gender" to mean biological sex at birth for purposes of statutory construction, directing the division of vehicles to invalidate and reissue driver's licenses when necessary to correct the gender identification on such licenses and directing the office of vital statistics to invalidate and reissue birth certificates when necessary to correct the sex identification on such certificates.
