DENVER — State lawmakers have a full slate of bills to consider this legislative session, including ones dealing with the rights of transgender individuals in Colorado.The bills have ignited quite a bit of debate.
“This bill simply clarifies that if you're requesting a name change and you have a felony, that you should be allowed to under good cause,” said Garcia.“She has three misdemeanors in her past. And in Florida, three misdemeanors automatically become a felony,” said Garcia. “When she moved to Colorado, she desired to get a name change that matched her gender.
A third bill, House Bill 24-1039, requires schools to use a student’s preferred name if a student makes a request, even if the student’s name hasn’t been legally changed. State Rep. Stephanie Vigil, D-El Paso County, said the bill has been significantly streamlined and will affirm that a chosen name falls within the legal protections for gender identity. Vigil said the bill also clarifies that schools need to update their written policies accordingly.
Vigil said whether a parent is notified of their child’s preferred name at school is not up to the legislature.
