Bill > H3771

This bill amends several sections of the South Carolina Code of Laws to prohibit the amendment, modification, correction, or other change to the gender of an individual as it appears on the original certificate of birth. Specifically, it prevents individuals from changing the gender listed on their birth certificates, even through court proceedings. The bill also clarifies that the state registrar cannot correct an individual's gender on a birth certificate, and that the family court cannot hear or determine actions to correct, amend, modify, or change the gender on an original birth certificate.
