AI Summary

This bill requires applications for licenses, identification cards, and moped operator's permits in Maryland to allow applicants to indicate their sex as female, male, or unspecified/other. The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) must ensure that licenses, ID cards, and permits of applicants who select "unspecified or other" display an "X" in the sex indicator location. The MVA cannot require applicants to provide proof of their sex or deny applications because the selected sex does not match other documents. The bill takes effect on October 1, 2019.
