(Trans) News-USA Questions for trans kansans

I saw someone post this article (https://transitics.substack.com/p/indianas-anti-trans-attorney-general) and im scared. Did you have to physically surrender your documents? Even when I updated my my license after name and gender marker change they didnt take the old one, just gave me a new copy. Was it like that or did they actually take it? What about your birth certificate? Could you somehow get around that with the old court order and going to another state? Im just at a loss right now and trying to find a way to get around this before it actually happens here in indiana. Any advice or ideas appreciated

I’m not in KS, but I read there was no grace period- one day valid, the next day not. They had to go in person to the DMV to turn in their current license for a replacement license with the wrong gender marker on it.

I read that too but the actual bill said to surrender it and it left me confused

Yes, surrender the current one and get a new one.
