Substitute House Bill No. 6847 mandates that by January 1, 2027, all state agencies that provide forms or applications requiring individuals to indicate their sex or gender must evaluate the necessary changes to include a nonbinary gender option. This evaluation should identify the specific revisions needed for the forms and the resources required to implement these changes. The findings from this evaluation must be summarized and submitted to the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management.

Furthermore, the Secretary is required to compile the results of these evaluations and submit a report to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by February 15, 2027. The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it primarily involves an assessment of costs associated with updating forms and applications. The new legal language introduced in this bill includes the requirement for evaluations and reports, while no existing legal language is deleted.
