The sponsor of a bill that would prevent Utahns from changing the sex listed on their birth certificates on Wednesday unveiled revisions that he couched as a "workable resolution" to controversy surrounding the proposal.
The updated legislation, HB153, would still set in stone the sex placed on someone’s birth certificate. But now, it would allow state residents to list a different gender identity on their driver licenses.
"This substitute bill reflects input from various interested parties and provides a workable resolution of the issues presented," Rep. Merrill Nelson, who's sponsoring the legislation, said in a news release.
