AI Summary

This bill allows individuals over the age of 18 or emancipated minors to request a change in the sex designation on their birth record to "female," "male," or "X," which indicates that the person is non-binary, intersex, undesignated, or of another gender identity. The bill also requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to permit applicants for driver's licenses, learner's permits, identification cards, or liquor purchase identification cards to designate "X" for gender, without requiring any documentation. The bill authorizes the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to allow for alternative gender designations beyond "X," "male," or "female" that appropriately reflect the applicant's gender identity.
