We have partnered with the LGBTQ foundation of Kansas for the SB 244 fund.
On February 26th, 2026, SB 244 was enrolled in the Kansas Register, making it an official law. This law defines gender as sex as assigned at birth, invalidates the state identification (driver’s licenses, birth certificates, etc.) of those who previously changed the gender marker on these documents, and criminalized multi-gender, multi-occupancy private spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms at government-owned facilities like public pools, schools, libraries, and government offices. For more information about SB244 and the aftermath, please reference the ACLU.
In the days surrounding this law’s publication, transgender Kansans started receiving letters from the Kansas department of Revenue notifying them that their identification would immediately become invalid on February 26th, 2026 with no grace period and no fee waiver. Folks would be burdened not only with the renewal fees, but travel to and from the DMV and lost income due to time away from work to complete this process.
The LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas has established a mutual aid fund for those affected by SB244. The following needs are generally eligible for mutual aid assistance. Individual eligibility may vary.
- Cost of Kansas ID replacement fees
- Cost of alternative Federal IDs such as passports
- Travel expenses related to Kansas ID replacement
- Travel expenses related to Federal ID procurement
- Out-of-state relocation expenses
