The bill amends the women's bill of rights by defining "gender" as an individual's biological sex at birth for statutory purposes. It mandates the director of the division of motor vehicles to invalidate and reissue driver's licenses that do not align with this definition, as well as requiring the office of vital statistics to do the same for birth certificates. Additionally, the bill removes the previous definition of "gender" from the help not harm act and makes several amendments to existing statutes, including K.S.A. 8-234a, K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 8-243, 65-28,137, and 77-207, while repealing certain sections.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that any birth certificate or driver's license issued prior to July 1, 2026, that identifies an individual's gender contrary to the new definition will be deemed invalid. The state registrar and the director of vehicles are tasked with correcting records and notifying individuals affected by these changes. The bill emphasizes that distinctions based on biological sex are permissible in various contexts, such as athletics and facilities, to protect health, safety, and privacy.
