Requires all municipalities to update all applicable forms and data systems to include a gender "x" option
This bill requires all New York municipalities to add a gender "x" option to any forms or data systems where they collect demographic information about a person's gender. The law mandates that both printed documents and digital platforms, such as websites, include this option whenever they are reordered or updated. It applies to every local government in the state that gathers data on gender or sex, ensuring individuals have this choice at the point of collection. The changes would take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
