The Lord is blessing our efforts! We anticipate a print hearing in House State Affairs this Wednesday and a full hearing towards the beginning of next week. I am working on talking points and a press release. We need to keep our messaging very controlled. Also, I would welcome input on plans for public testimony at the hearing. I am working on some drafts which I will post ASAP. Julianne Young On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 1:38 PM Julianne Young <juliannehyoung@gmail.com> wrote: Any last comments are invited.

I am sending this final draft [vital statistics draft(3) attached below] to you, to ADF , and to our folks here a vital statistics. Hopefully we are near or at our final draft so that we can work on securing support from the governor's office. Leadership appears to be supportive so I have good reason to hope we will soon have a hearing. Thank you again for your help!

This eliminates the potential for an open-ended indeterminate status. Thoughts on this idea?

I have tried to 'reply all' in order to share this with the larger group but I'm not sure that it worked. If you could ensure that the larger group has access to this request I would appreciate it. Thanks so much. Our vital statistics folks in the Department of Health and Welfare have raised some questions which we have attempted to address in the attached draft. Their comments focused primarily on 39-245A (4) and (5). They wanted to ensure that the language stipulated that the affidavit be one provided by the department and asked that we make some changes in formatting to make the process more clear to the public. I believe the changes to (4) are straightforward. They raised some good questions regarding (5) though: 1- Our current language does not require verification from a medical professional that the appropriate chromosomal analysis and evaluation of anatomy has taken place and that the decision of sex is appropriate based on that analysis and evaluation. 2- Our language is silent about what happens if they don't resolve the indeterminate status within the three years. Do we need to specify that it can be resoled in court after this? Do we need to specify any requirements should that be the case? The drafter and I took a stab at it in the attached draft. those who are providing review on this! Again, feedback is appreciated.
