New York state assembly passes bill that would create gender-neutral marker on state identification CNN 1 hr ago By Anna Sturla, CNN © Hans Pennink/AP The New York State Assembly chamber as members meet on the opening day of the 2021 legislative session on January 6 in Albany, New York. A New York bill that would allow people to use a gender-neutral X as a gender marker on driver s licenses and birth certificates passed the New York State Assembly on Thursday and now goes to the governor for final approval. The Gender Recognition Act, which previously passed the state Senate, would also allow New Yorkers to attest to their own gender identity when petitioning a court or updating an identification document, and no longer requires medical evidence. The bill would also eliminate the requirement to publish name changes in a local newspaper, according to the text of the bill.
