The bill, sponsored by Democratic state lawmakers, mandates that death certificates reflect a deceased person’s gender identity rather than biological sex. Violators, including doctors and medical examiners, could face a class 2 misdemeanor, up to 120 days in jail, and fines of up to $750. The bill allows family members to petition for gender changes on death certificates using supporting documentation or a court order. -- https://mxmnews.com/article/e62ca221-7b28-4a56-bf4a-4b3f8e836f2f
