REAL ID Gender Requirement Reform Act

This bill removes the requirement that a state driver's license or identification card must include the individual's gender to be recognized for federal purposes (i.e., to be a REAL ID).

If a state includes any such gender or sex identification, there must not be any additional documentation requirement and the state must include a neutral or other designation in the gender or sex field.

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
