Requires modernization of all State blanks, forms, documents, and applications to incorporate new standards for collection of information about sex, gender, and sexual orientation.
This bill requires all New Jersey state agencies to update official forms, documents, and applications to collect sex, gender, and sexual orientation information more respectfully. It mandates that such data only be collected when vital for health services, makes it optional for statistical purposes with clear labeling, and requires sensitive phrasing that allows non-binary designations. Individuals (or their parents/guardians for minors) control whether to share this information, and agencies must follow best practices recognized by LGBTQ advocacy groups like Garden State Equality. Federal collection requirements would need documented justification before including such questions on state forms.
