HB 6847 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING AN EVALUATION OF THE UPDATING OF STATE FORMS AND APPLICATIONS TO INCLUDE A NONBINARY GENDER OPTION.

HB 6847 requires all state agencies that provide public forms or applications (like licenses, permits, or services) to evaluate how to add a nonbinary gender option to those forms. Agencies must complete this assessment by January 1, 2027, and submit findings to the Office of Policy and Management, detailing necessary changes and required resources. The bill focuses solely on evaluating the process - no immediate form changes are mandated - and has no fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets, per the fiscal note.
