Vermont S0112 allows the State Registrar to amend a death certificate to reflect the deceased person's gender identity.

Vermont S0112 proposes to amend the state's death certificate laws to allow the State Registrar to correct or amend a death certificate to reflect the deceased person's gender identity. This change can be requested by the certifying health care professional, medical examiner, hospital, or nursing home, or by the spouse, adult child, parent, guardian, adult sibling, or adult grandchild of the deceased. The Department of Health will adopt rules to implement this change, including procedures for attesting to the deceased's gender identity and handling conflicting requests.
