Bill > S09764

This bill amends the domestic relations law to ensure that when a judge is making decisions about child custody, they cannot consider a parent's sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, nor can they prevent a parent from undergoing gender reassignment, which refers to medical procedures and social changes to align with one's gender identity. This change is intended to prevent discrimination against parents based on their gender identity or expression when determining the best interests of a child.
