Request to change or add sex indicators on birth and death records permitted, modifications to marriage records permitted, and data classified.
This bill allows individuals in Minnesota to request changes or additions to the sex indicators on their birth and death records, including options beyond just male or female. For adults and emancipated minors, the state health commissioner must approve these requests if supported by medical documentation, a court order, or a sworn statement of good faith. The legislation also permits parents or guardians to make these changes for minors and requires courts to grant such petitions when there is no intent to defraud. Additionally, the bill mandates that once a birth record is updated, the original document becomes private data that cannot be disclosed without a court order.
