Summary

The bill lets adults change their name to match their gender identity without a hearing unless someone files a timely, good‑cause objection. It also creates a single petition process for name and gender/sex‑identifier changes, and for issuing new birth certificates, marriage licenses, or a child’s birth certificate, with specific affidavit and parental‑signature rules for minors.
