Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona law regarding birth certificates to make it easier for individuals to change the sex designation on their birth certificate. Specifically, it allows people who have undergone a sex change operation or have a chromosomal count indicating a different sex than recorded at birth to request an amended certificate. The process requires a physician’s statement and a notarized form, without requiring surgical documentation, and also addresses amending names related to paternity and retaining information after adoption.
