AI Summary
This bill amends the Health and Safety Code in Texas to require that birth certificates include a space for recording the biological sex of a child as either male or female. It also prohibits changing the listed biological sex on a birth certificate for minors, except to correct clerical errors, complete missing information, or update the sex for a child who had atypical or ambiguous sex characteristics at birth. The bill directs the Health and Human Services Commission to adopt rules to implement these changes, which will take effect on September 1, 2023.
