Bill > S2429

This bill aims to expand gender identity options on Massachusetts identification documents. It allows individuals over the age of 18 or emancipated minors to request a change in the sex designation on their birth record, including the option to select "X" to indicate another or undesignated gender. The bill also enables the amendment of gender and name on marriage certificates. Additionally, the Registry of Motor Vehicles must permit the "X" gender designation on driver's licenses, permits, and identification cards without requiring documentation. The bill requires the development of a plan to ensure all state forms provide a gender option beyond male or female, and calls for the creation of materials and processes to inform and assist youth and young adults in changing their gender designations.
