According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "changing an individual’s sex on a birth certificate".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill prohibits changing the recorded sex of an individual on a birth certificate to anything other than their biological sex, defined as the state of being male or female based on sex chromosomes, regardless of any surgical or gender identity-related factors. It specifically forbids amendments to a birth record based on psychological, chosen, or subjective experiences of gender. Additionally, the bill bars courts from ordering such changes on birth records. Furthermore, it eliminates the possibility for individuals to alter their sex on birth records following surgical sex-change procedures. The new regulations will be applicable to court orders and petitions filed from the bill's effective date.
The bill was co-authored by Senator Steve L. Nass (Republican-11th District), Representative Scott Allen (Republican-82nd District), Representative Elijah R. Behnke (Republican-6th District), Representative Calvin T. Callahan (Republican-35th District), Representative Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District). It was co-sponsored by Senator Romaine Robert Quinn (Republican-25th District) and Senator Van H. Wanggaard (Republican-21st District), along seven other co-sponsors.
Lindee Rae Brill has co-authored or authored another 75 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Brill graduated from Hope College in 2003 with a BA.
Brill, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 27th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Amy Binsfeld.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
