Trans Kansans Fight SB 244: ID Invalidations and Restroom Suits
TL;DR Summary
Two transgender Kansans have filed a lawsuit challenging SB 244, a law that immediately invalidates state-issued IDs with gender markers reflecting identity and creates a private right to sue people suspected of being transgender for using government restrooms; the suit argues the measure violates Kansas constitutional protections of personal autonomy, privacy, equality, due process, and free speech, with the ACLU and Ballard Spahr LLP representing the plaintiffs.
