Attorney General Kris Kobach instructed the Kansas Department of Revenue, which houses the division of motor vehicles, not to make gender marker changes while the issue is in litigation.

New reforms to Kansas’ suspended license rules went into effect at the start of 2025. It should help drivers avoid being stripped of driving privileges just because they can't pay the fines for a traffic ticket.
