Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said he never reviewed or approved a settlement agreement that allowed “nonbinary” as a listing option on birth certificates, ordering a halt to the practice on Wednesday.
Stitt told the State Department of Health to stop amending birth certificates in any way not authorized under state law. It also directed the department to scrub its website of any reference to amending birth certificates for nonbinary people, according to The Associated Press.
“This order ensures this unauthorized action will be corrected,” Stitt’s order states.
