Requires a license to include a person's full legal name, date of birth, gender category, residence address, and license or identification card number. Includes a third option of gender identification for driver's license and state identification card applicants. Effective 7/1/2020.

AI Summary

This bill amends Hawaii's driver's license and state identification card laws to include a third gender category option of "non-binary" in addition to "female" and "male". It also prohibits the state Department of Transportation from requiring documentation to prove an applicant's chosen gender category, except where necessary to establish legal entitlement to a license or identification card. The bill aims to reduce discrimination and stigma faced by transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in Hawaii by expanding gender identity options on official identification documents. The changes take effect on July 1, 2020.
