Bill > HB2076

This bill modifies Missouri's driver's license regulations by adding a new provision that requires individuals who want to change the sex designation on their driver's license, nondriver's license, or instruction permit to provide an amended birth certificate that reflects their requested sex designation. The new provision specifically states that an applicant must submit a birth certificate showing the sex other than their biological sex assigned at birth in order to obtain a license with a different sex designation. This means that individuals seeking to change their sex marker on official state identification documents must first have their birth certificate legally amended to match their desired sex designation. The bill is part of the existing section 302.171 of Missouri Revised Statutes, which governs driver's license applications and requirements, and adds this new requirement as subsection 12 to the existing law. The provision appears to create an additional administrative hurdle for individuals seeking to have their identity documents reflect their gender identity by mandating a prior birth certificate amendment.
