New Jersey S1606 requires all state blanks, forms, documents, and applications to incorporate new standards for collecting information about sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

The collection of this information will be optional and clearly marked as such, ensuring that individuals retain control over their data disclosure.
