Bill > HB1165

This bill modifies several New Hampshire state statutes related to identification documents to remove the "X" or "other" gender designation option, leaving only "M" for male and "F" for female as gender choices on various state-issued identification documents. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing identification cards, driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, and license applications to eliminate the third gender option. The changes apply to standard identification cards, Public Law 109-13 compliant identification cards (which meet federal identification standards), enhanced identification cards, standard driver's licenses, commercial driver's licenses, and the physical descriptions on license applications. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, meaning that all new and renewed identification documents will only offer male and female gender designations after that time. This change effectively restricts gender identification options to a binary male/female system on state-issued identification in New Hampshire.
