Prevents a judge from prohibiting a parent from undergoing a gender reassignment when making a determination in a child custody case

Summary

It amends New York’s Domestic Relations Law so that, when determining a child’s best interests, a judge may not consider a parent’s sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and may not prohibit a parent from undergoing gender‑reassignment. The rule applies to all custody and related family‑court proceedings. The goal is to keep a parent’s gender‑related status from influencing custody outcomes.
