AI Summary
This bill allows individuals in Massachusetts, including minors, to change the sex designation on their birth records to "female," "male," or "X" (indicating another or undesignated gender) without requiring medical documentation. It also requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to permit individuals to designate "X," "M," or "F" for gender on driver's licenses, 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 gender other than male or female, while complying with federal regulations.
