Mississippi HB1154 mandates that the sex on a birth certificate must be the one assigned at birth and cannot be changed unless verified as an error.
Mississippi HB1154 amends the Mississippi Code to ensure that the sex on a birth certificate remains the one assigned at birth. The State Registrar of Vital Records is prohibited from changing the sex on a birth certificate unless it is verified as an error through medical records from the time of birth or confirmation from a physician or person who delivered the child. The law also mandates that the sex on a driver's license must match the sex on the birth certificate. This act takes effect on July 1, 2026.
