HB 2587

This conference committee report gutted a healthcare bill and replaced it with the contents of HB 2448, requiring citizenship status to be printed on Kansas driver's licenses. Because driver's licenses are routinely presented during employment verification and workplace interactions, this creates a government-issued marker that makes immigrant workers — including union members in Kansas meatpacking, construction, and agriculture — more visible targets for employer intimidation and less likely to report safety violations, file wage claims, or participate in union organizing.
