This bill amends Section 1-321 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the amendment of vital records, specifically birth certificates. The key change prohibits any amendments to the biological sex designation on a birth certificate, stating that it must be either male or female and cannot include nonbinary or any other symbols representing a nonbinary designation. The bill specifies that this designation, once assigned at birth, cannot be altered in the future.
Additionally, the bill establishes that the effective date for this prohibition on amending biological sex designations will be November 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to maintain the integrity and accuracy of vital statistics records by restricting the options available for biological sex designation on birth certificates.
