Citing a 2023 law passed by the Kansas state legislature over a veto by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, Attorney General Kobach in 2023 against the government agency that issues driver鈥檚 licenses. The suit asked the court to prohibit transgender people from changing the gender markers on their driver鈥檚 licenses to reflect their gender identity, and to require the state agency to list the sex assigned at birth on all new and renewed licenses. Shortly thereafter, the ACLU of Kansas, the ACLU, and Stinson LLP successfully intervened in the case on behalf of transgender Kansans threatened by the Attorney General鈥檚 lawsuit.

, the law being used by Attorney General Kobach, rigidly defines one鈥檚 鈥渟ex鈥� based upon the sex assigned at birth and defines 鈥渕ale鈥� and 鈥渇emale鈥� based on one鈥檚 reproductive capacity. The new definition applies 鈥渨ith respect to the application of an individual鈥檚 biological sex pursuant to any state law, rules or regulations.鈥�

Courts have routinely rejected efforts by states to force transgender people to carry identity documents with a gender marker that is inconsistent with their gender identity. The intervenors in this case argue that SB 180鈥檚 plain terms preclude its application to driver鈥檚 licenses and that, to the extent the law is ambiguous, Kansas courts should interpret it to avoid violating the state constitutional rights of transgender people.

Following an evidentiary hearing in 2024, the district court granted the Attorney General鈥檚 motion for a preliminary injunction, and our clients and the licensing agency appealed. On June 13, 2025, the Kansas Court of Appeals reversed, holding that Attorney General Kobach was unlikely to prevail on his view that SB 180 requires all new and renewed driver鈥檚 licenses to list the driver鈥檚 sex assigned at birth. After the Kansas Supreme Court denied further review, the wrongfully issued injunction was dissolved, and Kansans could once again obtain driver鈥檚 licenses in accordance with their gender identities. The case currently remains pending in a district court, where the parties have cross-moved for summary judgment.

In January 2026, the district court sanctioned Attorney General Kobach and his attorney for filing a motion in those proceedings that they knew, or should have known, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider.
