The bill proposes an amendment to the Health and Safety code of supplemental birth certificates. The code currently reads that the birth certificate must be in the names of the adoptive parents “one of whom is male and one of whom is female." This wording excludes same-sex parents.
Changing the wording to “in the names of both adoptive parents” allows both parents, regardless of gender to have established parentage. The bill would allow the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics to place the birth certificate in both parents’ names.
We, the undersigned, call on the Texas Legislature, to support Texas House Bill 201.
This will allow parents, regardless of sexuality, to have equal parentage and rights.
