Support update regarding Vital Health records
 

I fully support the proposed updates to 12 VAC 5-550, clarifying the process for gender changes on Virginia birth certificates. I am a lifelong Virginian with many loved ones and friends in the transgender community, and I know how important it is to have access to legal documents that accurately reflect a person's identity.
