AI Summary

This bill amends the Vital Statistics Act to provide for the amendment of sex designation on vital records. It allows individuals born in the state to request that their birth certificate be reissued to reflect a designation of male, female, or X (a gender other than male or female or an undesignated gender), upon providing a statement signed under penalty of perjury indicating their gender identity and, if applicable, a certified copy of a name change order. The bill also specifies that the reissued birth certificate shall not be marked as "amended" in these cases.
