Calif. bill would allow courts to overrule parents on name, gender identity changes for minors

[Michie]

A California lawmaker has introduced a bill that would allow courts to override parents’ objections to their child changing their name and sex identifier on vital records, such as birth certificates.

AB 1084, introduced by Assemblyman Rick Zbur, D-Beverly Hills, expedites the process for individuals to change their legal documents — birth certificates and marriage licenses — to coincide with their self-declared gender identity. For adults, the bill mandates that courts “shall, without hearing and within two weeks of the petition’s filing, enter an order that the change of name is granted” to conform to their gender identity, eliminating the previous mechanism for objections.

For minors, if all living parents sign the petition, courts must grant the name change within two weeks without a hearing. If not all parents consent, non-signing parents have six weeks to object, but “objections based solely on concerns that the proposed change is not the petitioner’s actual gender identity or gender assigned at birth shall not constitute good cause,” according to a draft of AB 1084.

We also have schools that are allowing kids to change their names and gender identity and hiding it from their parents

That's uncalled for.
