AMENDING CERTAIN INFORMATION IN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS. (a) An individual's biological sex recorded in the space of an electronic health record [...] may be amended by a health care provider only if: (1) the amendment is to correct a clerical error; or (2) the individual is diagnosed with a sexual development disorder and the amendment is to record the individual's biological sex as the opposite biological sex. (b) If an individual's biological sex is amended under Subsection (a)(2), the health care provider shall include information on the individual's sexual development disorder.
