Selected quotes

An Act to require that birth certificates and certain official documents reflect biological sex.

The biological sex listed on a birth certificate may only be amended in accordance with a court order upon a finding that the individual's biological sex is inaccurate.

If a child is born with a physiological disorder that renders the child's biological sex not identifiable at birth as male or female, based upon externally observable reproductive anatomy, the attending physician must make a presumptive determination of the child's biological sex.
