Description:
The Gender Recognition Act passed in June 2021 removing longstanding
barriers to equality and expands protection for transgender and
non-binary New Yorkers. The legislation streamlines the process to
change the name or gender marker on a New York State-issued driver’s
license, ID, or birth certificate, and requires numerous public and
private entities to honor a person’s name change.
This CLE shall provide an overview of the Gender Recognition Act with an
emphasis on the Name Change Process. Additionally the training shall
provide best practices when working with TGNC clients.
