Requires all municipalities that collect demographic information...
Requires all municipalities that collect demographic information about a person's gender or sex to update all applicable forms and data systems to include a gender "x" option.
This bill, A00032, aims to update all forms and data systems used by municipalities that collect demographic information on a person's gender or sex. The goal is to include a gender "x" option, which is meant to provide a non-binary alternative for individuals who do not identify as male or female. This change is intended to better reflect the diversity of gender identities within the community.
The bill would affect all municipalities that collect gender information. It seeks to ensure that all forms and data systems used by these municipalities are inclusive and respect the gender identities of everyone in the community. This includes forms for public services, surveys, and any other data collection processes.
As of January 7, 2026, the bill was referred to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. It was first introduced on January 8, 2025, and reported out of committee on February 25, 2025. The bill is currently under review in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, which will determine its next steps in the legislative process.
