ILLINOIS DRIVER’S LICENSES MAY OFFER A GENDER-NEUTRAL OPTION.
LAWMAKERS HAVE PASSED A BILL TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE OF THOSE WHO DON’T IDENTIFY AS SOLELY MALE OR FEMALE. IT’S SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE ANNE STAVA-MURRAY OF DOWNERS GROVE.
IF THE GOVERNOR SIGNS THE BILL INTO LAW THE CHANGE WON’T HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. THE OPTION WOULDN’T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE MOVES TO A NEW DIGITAL LICENSE AND I-D SYSTEM.
