| Bill | Change of gender and sex identifier. | (1) Existing law authorizes a person to file a petition with the superior court seeking a judgment recognizing their change of gender to female, male, or nonbinary, including a person who is under 18 years of age. The judgment may include an order for a new birth certificate, and the new birth certificate is required to include the change of gender and any name change specified in the court order. Existing law also authorizes a procedure for a person born in this state to obtain a new birth certificate directly from the State Registrar to reflect their change of gender to female, male, or nonbinary without a court order. Existing law prohibits a new birth certificate issued under these provisions from indicating that it is not the original birth certificate and requires a local registrar or the county recorder to either forward a copy of the original birth certificate to the State Registrar or seal a cover over the copy of the original birth certificate, as specified. | us/states/ca | California Legislature | 20212022 | AB 218 | California AB 218 (20212022) |
