Description
A memo sent to Florida county tax collectors last week effectively bans people from changing their "gender" or "sex" on their driver's license. This is just one of the latest policy changes state leaders have made that directly impact transgender individuals.
Back in 2022, driver's license requirements were amended to allow Floridians to change the gender marker on their license. Now, the FLHSMV has rescinded that amendment.
The reason, according to the memo, is that the requirements in IR08-Gender requirements aren't "supported" by statutory authority. Under Florida statute, transportation authorities can only give out replacement licenses when they are stolen or lost, or if an acceptable change — such as name, address or restrictions — has occurred, the memo said.
