Bill Summary

AN ACT To repeal section 193.215, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to amendments to certificates of birth.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits changing the sex designation on birth certificates in Missouri, except in cases of a clerical error that can be corrected within one year of birth or by a court order. It repeals the existing law that allowed for changing the sex on a birth certificate after a court order indicating the individual's sex had been changed through a surgical procedure. The bill maintains provisions for amending birth certificates to change a person's name or to establish paternity for a child born out of wedlock.
