Bill > S09996

This bill requires all municipalities in New York State that collect information about a person's gender or sex to update their forms and data systems to include a "gender x" option, which is a designation for individuals who do not identify as exclusively male or female. This change will be implemented as municipalities reorder printed forms, update their websites and online services, or share information, ensuring that the "x" option is available when these updates occur in the normal course of business. The bill aims to make data collection more inclusive by providing an alternative for individuals whose gender identity is not exclusively male or female.
