Concerning permitting a name change for a person convicted of a felony to conform with the person’s gender identity.
BILL SUMMARY
Current law specifies the conditions a person must meet in order to change the person’s name if the person was convicted of a felony. Among those conditions is that the person must show good cause to be able to change the person’s name to a name different from the name the person was convicted under.
