Pennsylvania HB1312 allows individuals to predesignate their gender identity as female, male, or nonbinary on death certificates.

Pennsylvania HB1312 amends the Vital Statistics Law of 1953 to include a nonbinary option for gender identity on death certificates. Individuals can predesignate their gender identity as female, male, or nonbinary. If a predesignation exists, the registration district must amend the certificate to match. If no predesignation exists, the gender identity can be determined from documents like birth certificates, driver's licenses, or Social Security records. If no documentation is available, the person completing the certificate must record the gender identity based on the predesignation form.
