HB1165 Anti-Trans Legislation targeting state IDs

• Official Title: relative to gender designation on state-issued identification.

• Bill Sponsors: (Prime) King (R), Berry (R), Cambrils (R), Granger (R), Perez (R), Sellers (R), Panek (R)

This bill removes the "X" designation on NH Drivers Licenses and identification cards. It’s a targeted attack on gender diverse individuals in New Hampshire, forcing folks to align their state-issued IDs with the sex assigned at birth and designated on their birth certificates. There are many reasons why individuals may choose an “X” designation on state ID - including because they are genderfluid, non-binary, or intersex. This bill would cause legal chaos if signed into law, forcing some individuals to have their state ID be misaligned with their federal ID, and/or have it completely mischaracterize their identity, biology, and presentation.
