BILLINGS, Mont. 鈥� A Montana judge ruled today the state may not prevent transgender people from updating their birth certificates while the case challenging the constitutionality of SB 280 proceeds. SB 280 requires a court order that one has received surgical treatment before they can obtain an amended and accurate birth certificate.

The court previously had granted a preliminary injunction that SB 280 likely is unconstitutional and enjoined enforcement of any aspect of that law pending resolution of the case. The Yellowstone County Court today ruled from the bench, granting the plaintiffs鈥� motion to clarify the preliminary injunction in and rejecting to circumvent the injunction against enforcement of SB 280.

The following statement was issued by the 老澳门开奖结果 of Montana, the 老澳门开奖结果 Foundation LGBTQ & HIV Project, and Nixon Peabody LLP:

鈥淲e鈥檙e thankful the court saw the state鈥檚 discriminatory new rule for what it was: a desperate effort to circumvent the judicial process and target transgender Montanans. Forcing anyone to carry documents that contradict their identity is unjust and unconstitutional, and such a rule marks transgender people for further mistreatment and discrimination. We鈥檒l continue to fight this baseless law until no transgender person is denied this fundamental right.鈥�
