Bill > S07466

This bill requires mass transportation providers in New York state (including airlines, railroad trains, buses, and cruise ships) to update their reservation, ticketing, and check-in website applications by January 1, 2026, to include an additional gender marker option that allows transgender, gender non-binary, and gender non-conforming travelers to select their gender based on self-attestation, regardless of their sex assigned at birth. The additional gender option can be specified as "Unspecified", "Undisclosed", or "X", or any combination of these. The bill provides several exceptions to this requirement, including exemptions for governmental entities, private transportation services, city bus services, and transportation services that do not require advance reservations or ticket purchases. By allowing travelers to self-identify their gender, the bill aims to create a more inclusive and respectful experience for individuals whose gender identity may not align with traditional binary gender categories.
