Requires State blanks, forms, documents, and applications to incorporate new standards for collection of information about sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
New Jersey's S 1633 requires all state agencies to update public forms, applications, and documents to collect optional demographic data on sex, gender identity, gender, and sexual orientation. The bill mandates that these questions be clearly marked as voluntary, use sensitive language that accommodates non-binary identities, and avoid conflating sex with gender. Individuals (or their parents/guardians for minors) retain full control over whether to provide this information, with no state employee or third party allowed to deny services based on non-disclosure. This applies to all state forms currently used for official business, aiming to modernize data collection practices that previously lacked inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals.
