A statement of a student’s biological sex on the student’s official birth certificate is considered to have correctly stated the student’s biological sex only if the statement was entered at or near the time of the student’s birth; or (2) modified to correct a clerical error in the student’s biological sex. The bill will require UIL to adopt rules to implement these provisions, subject to approval by the Commissioner of Education.
The bill now heads to the Texas House. The law would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act would take effect September 1, 2021.
