This bill specifies that any "identity document", as defined in the bill, issued by a state agency must contain a gender designation corresponding to the person's biological sex. This gender designation must not be amended for any reason other than provided evidence demonstrating the person's biological sex.
Any identity document that has been issued that is in violation of this bill must be revoked by the State agency that originally issued the document; the State agency must then issue a new identity document that lists the individual's biological sex.
The provisions of the bill do not apply to individuals who are born with a medically verifiable disorder of sex development or any individual that has been diagnosed with a disorder of sex development and who, based on genetic or biochemical testing, does not have normal sex chromosome structure, sex steroid hormone production, or sex steroid hormone action.
This bill repeals a provision that allows an individual to amend their birth certificate based on an elective change of sex.
