A new Kansas law took effect Thursday requiring corrections to birth certificates and driver’s licenses that contradict biological definitions, affecting more than 1,000 people who changed that information on those documents.

The measure also requires governing bodies of public buildings owned or leased by governmental entities to designate facilities like restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms for use by only one sex, defined as biological sex at birth.
