Eligible forms must be updated within five years, and others must be paired with a standardized anonymous survey.

I urge you all to pass intro two forty six along with the entire package of bills introduced by our colleagues and proactively work to protect our transgender, nonconforming, and nonbinary neighbors and push back against federal actions designed to disenfranchise our most vulnerable communities because we know that justice for our most marginalized neighbors is justice for all New Yorkers.
