Indiana House amends bill to make driver's license gender changes harder

INDIANAPOLIS — A week after the Indiana BMV changed its policy to allow people to put an X for their gender on driver’s licenses, a House committee changed a bill to mark it harder for Hoosiers to do exactly that.
The BMV changes mean you can mark M, F or X. The third option was created for people who don’t identify as male or female.
If you want to change your gender on your driver’s license, you need a doctor’s note or an updated birth certificate.
House Republicans voted Wednesday to amend Senate Bill 182 to remove the doctor’s note option for changing your information at the BMV.
