Kansas Secretary of State Records Concerning SB 244

Records from the Kansas Secretary of State in response to American Oversight’s request seeking documents about Kansas Senate Bill 244, which in February 2025 invalidated driver’s licenses and birth certificates that reflect different gender markers than a person’s assigned sex at birth. 

These records include email communications about the policy and its potential application to voter registration. In one email (page 7),  State Election Director at the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office Bryan Caskey writes about Kansas Republican Party Treasurer Roger Lomshek’s allegation that SB 244 applies to voter registration and that a county in Kansas is not following this law. Caskey writes that he “does not agree” with Lomshek’s interpretation of SB 244 and that they had already discussed this earlier that year.
