Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending section 36-337, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to vital records.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law regarding birth certificates to allow for changes to the sex designation on a birth certificate. Previously, to change the sex designation, a person needed to provide documentation from a physician verifying a sex change operation or a chromosomal count. Now, the bill removes the requirement for medical documentation and instead allows for a sex designation change through a notarized form signed by the individual, which can certify an updated sex designation of male, female, undesignated, or other. The state registrar is explicitly prohibited from requiring surgical or medical documentation for this process.
