Clarifies court procedure for changing sex on vital records in Minnesota.

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to clarify the court procedure for changing the sex designation on vital records. It requires individuals applying for a sex change on their vital records to appear before the court and provide proof of identity and, if applicable, a letter from a licensed physician certifying ongoing gender transition treatment. The court must grant the application unless it finds intent to defraud, if prohibited by law, or if the change is not in the best interest of a minor. The court must direct the Department of Health to update the birth record accordingly.
