Bill Summary
Relating to the required inclusion of a person's sex on a birth certificate and prohibited change of sex on the birth certificate of certain minors.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to require that a person's biological sex, determined by their sex organs, chromosomes, or endogenous profile, be listed on their birth certificate. It also prohibits changing a minor's sex on their birth certificate, except in cases of correcting a clerical error, completing missing information, or updating the certificate for a minor whose sex was initially ambiguous or atypical. The bill also directs the Health and Human Services Commission to adopt necessary rules to implement these changes, which will take effect on September 1, 2023.
