An Act amending the act of June 29, 1953 (P.L.304, No.66), known as the Vital Statistics Law of 1953, in birth registration, providing for certain information prohibited.

SB 477 prohibits Pennsylvania birth certificates from listing a child's sex after its effective date, directly affecting newborns and parents during birth registration. The law requires that standard birth certificates filed under the Vital Statistics Law no longer include sex designation, though it exempts records submitted under federal requirements. This change applies to all birth registrations processed after the bill's 60-day effective date. The amendment modifies the 1953 Vital Statistics Law to remove sex as a required field on state-issued birth certificates.
