LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 741, as introduced, Galgiani.
Change of gender.
Existing law, operative September 1, 2018, authorizes a person to file a petition with the superior court in any county seeking a judgment recognizing the change of gender to female, male, or nonbinary. The judgment, upon request, is required to include an order that a new birth certificate be prepared for the person reflecting the change of gender and any change of name that was ordered in specified jurisdictions.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to delete the outdated operative date.
