#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

@B_Bird @alice A poorly-written bill went to a committee who gutted it and inserted some batshit insanity without following the procedure for allowing any public input. Less-insane politicians suggested amendments to make it less awful and were repeatedly shut down. The bill went to the Governor's desk and she not only vetoed it, but made a public statement on how awful the bill is.

The Republican-led legislature voted to override the veto, and now we're stuck with the law.
