Bill > SB14

This bill modifies provisions relating to amending birth certificates. It repeals and replaces Section 193.215 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo). The key changes include: 1. Allowing the state registrar to amend a birth certificate only when the applicant submits the minimum required documentation or if the registrar has no reasonable cause to question the validity of the evidence. 2. Clarifying the process for amending a birth certificate to change a person's name, including the requirements for a court order and the documentation needed. 3. Specifying that a birth certificate can only be amended to change an individual's sex if the change was due to a medically-verifiable disorder of sex development, and not for changes made solely through non-surgical means or for reasons other than a medically-verifiable disorder. The bill aims to standardize the requirements and documentation needed to amend birth certificates in Missouri.
