Justice Department weighs in that judge should reject argument rooted in controversial ruling
Arkansas has been allowing trans people to correct the gender marker on their licenses easily for over a decade, but that changed recently. Residents have been allowed to self-select the gender markers on their licenses since at least 2010, but the new policy changes that.
Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex residents are suing over a new policy that makes it nearly impossible to change their gender marker and bans the use of a gender-neutral one.
A recent state policy change to tighten gender identities on Arkansas driver's licenses is being challenged in court by the ACLU.
The ACLU of Arkansas filed a complaint against the DFA, arguing that the emergency rule was wrongfully implemented under the Arkansas Administrative Procedure Act.
