Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the Secretary of State shall permit applicants to choose between "male", "female", or "X" (rather than "male", "female", or "non-binary") on an application for an identification card, driver's license, or permit. Provides that an applicant who wants to change the sex listed on an issued identification card, driver's license, or permit must submit a gender designation form. Sets forth the requirements of the gender designation form.
AI Summary
This bill amends Illinois law to allow individuals applying for an identification card, driver's license, or permit to select "male," "female," or "X" as their gender designation, replacing the previous option of "non-binary." It also establishes a process for individuals to change the gender marker on their existing identification documents by submitting a "gender designation form," which will only require the applicant's information, a statement of their chosen gender, an attestation that the request is to accurately reflect their gender identity and not for fraudulent purposes, and their signature, without needing further documentation or verification from the Secretary of State.
