Bill Summary
Relative to gender identity on Massachusetts identification (being the text of Senate document number 2203, printed as amended)
AI Summary
This bill amends the laws in Massachusetts to allow individuals over the age of 18 or emancipated minors to change the sex designation on their birth records to "female," "male," or "X" (indicating another or undesignated gender) without requiring medical documentation or a court order. It also requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to allow individuals to designate "X," "M," or "F" for gender on driver's licenses, learner's permits, and identification cards without requiring documentation. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of Administration and Finance to develop a plan to ensure that all state forms and documents provide an option for individuals to choose a gender other than male or female, while complying with applicable federal rules and regulations.
