Mississippi HB1375 prohibits changing the sex on a birth certificate unless verified by medical records or a physician.
Mississippi HB1375 amends Section 41-57-21 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to restrict the State Registrar of Vital Records from altering the sex on a birth certificate. The change can only occur if it is verified by medical records from the time of birth or by a physician who confirms that the sex of the child was not what is shown on the birth certificate. This act aims to ensure accuracy in birth certificates by requiring medical verification for any changes to the sex designation.
