CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 298 - Under this act, any identity document issued to a person by a state agency shall contain a gender designation for the person that corresponds to the person's biological sex, except as provided in this act. A state agency shall not assign or amend a gender designation on any such identity document on the basis of the person's self-designation, any gender transition surgery or gender transition drugs or hormones, or any other factor other than evidence demonstrating the person's biological sex.
Any state agency that has previously issued a person an identity document with a gender designation that does not correspond to the person's biological sex shall revoke such document and reissue the document with the gender designation that corresponds to the person's biological sex.
This act repeals provisions of current law that permit a birth certificate to be changed upon receipt of a court order indicating the sex of the person has been changed by surgical procedure and that the person's name has been changed.
