This bill amends New Hampshire law regarding gender designation on state-issued identification by removing the option for individuals to select "X" or "other" as their gender. The new legal language specifies that identification cards, including driver's licenses and commercial driver licenses, will only allow for "M" for male or "F" for female as gender indicators. The bill makes these changes across several sections of the law, including RSA 260:21, RSA 260:21-a, RSA 260:21-b, RSA 263:5, RSA 263:40, and RSA 263:90, effectively eliminating the "X" designation from all forms of state identification.

The bill also includes provisions for optional information such as veteran's status and organ donor status, but the primary focus is on the gender designation. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage. Overall, this legislation aims to standardize gender identification on state-issued IDs by limiting the options available to male and female only.
