AI Summary

  • Allows currently married individuals to request a marriage certificate with gender-identifying language removed or changed (e.g., "bride"/"groom" to "spouse" or "Spouse 1"/"Spouse A") upon completion of a county clerk affidavit and identity confirmation.

  • Requires both parties to appear before the clerk, indicate consent, and complete an affidavit if both spouses request to change gender identifiers on their certificate; allows the change to be permanent if the county is technologically capable and parties desire it.

  • Specifies that requests for nongendered certificates do not permanently alter the original gender-identifying language in the clerk's records, with affidavits and issued certificates retained in permanent records.

  • Directs county clerks to work with the Department of Public Health to develop new certificate formats for counties that issue reproductions of original licenses instead of summary data sheets.

  • Prohibits nongendered certificates from including language indicating they have been amended or are not accurate records of the facts stated within them.
