Maine LD1002 mandates public schools to use the name and gender on a child's birth certificate unless otherwise specified.

Maine LD1002 requires public and public charter schools to refer to a minor student by the name and gender listed on their official birth record, unless the student's parent or guardian provides written permission or documentation of a legal name or gender change. This law aims to protect children's identification by ensuring schools use the official birth certificate details.
