Texas SB1393 mandates electronic health records to include a space for recording an individual's biological sex and any sexual development disorder.

Texas SB1393 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish requirements for electronic health records. Specifically, it mandates that each electronic health record prepared or maintained by a health care provider in Texas must include a space for recording an individual's biological sex, as observed by a health care provider at birth, and information on any sexual development disorder, if applicable. The bill defines "biological sex" as the biological trait determining whether a sexually reproducing organism produces male or female gametes.
