The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) does not have to issue a nonbinary option on driver’s licenses and identification cards, per an Indiana Court of Appeals ruling on Tuesday.

A three-judge Indiana Court of Appeals panel heard arguments Tuesday on whether the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles must issue driver’s licenses with an “X” gender designation for nonbinary Hoosiers.

A Senate bill seeks to stop insured Hoosiers from unknowingly having their licenses suspended.

A December report to the State Budget Committee estimated the state agency would make $26 million in data sales —which can include name, date of birth, addresses, odometer readings and license plate numbers.

A district court heard a case Friday alleging the state is prioritizing certain groups when providing government-issued licenses. The ACLU of Indiana and the National Immigration Law Center filed the case on behalf of five Indiana residents from Haiti who want to get driver’s licenses.

A federal lawsuit claims a new Indiana law unfairly prevents most immigrants from accessing state driver’s licenses or identification cards.

Two east-central Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch offices will change schedules after Thanksgiving to keep two locations open by sharing one staff.

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is temporarily closing eight offices around the state starting Oct. 4, and lasting through the end of the month.

Beginning Tuesday, almost a dozen Bureau of Motor Vehicles offices throughout the state will be closed until Oct. 2 due to staffing shortages.
