AI Summary

This bill aims to allow individuals in Massachusetts to change the sex designation on their birth records and state-issued identification documents to include options beyond just "male" and "female," including an "X" designation to indicate another gender or an undesignated gender. The bill establishes a process for making such changes without requiring medical or legal documentation, and it also directs the state to ensure that all state forms and documents provide a non-binary gender option. The key provisions of the bill are set to take effect on January 1, 2022.
