Bill Restricting Sex Designation Changes On Birth Records Heads To Governor’s Desk

(Bismarck, ND) — A bill that would restrict changes to the sex designation on North Dakota birth records is headed to Governor Doug Burgum’s desk. The bill would ban any changes to the sex designation on birth records “due to a gender identity change.” Exceptions would be made for data entry errors, or changes made to match medically-certified information. The Vital Records Division currently abides by this policy, which would become law if the bill is signed.
