Part of the text of the bill reads:

{{quote|The [[binary gender]] designations of [[female]] and [[male]] fail to adequately represent the diversity of human experience. [[Nonbinary]] is an umbrella term for people with gender identities that fall somewhere outside of the traditional conceptions of strictly either female or male. People with nonbinary gender identities may or may not identify as [[transgender]], may or may not have been born with [[intersex]] traits, may or may not use gender-neutral [[pronouns]], and may or may not use more specific terms to describe their genders, such as [[agender]], [[genderqueer]], [[gender fluid]], [[Two Spirit]], [[bigender]], [[pangender]], [[gender nonconforming]], or [[gender variant]].}}

The GRA does not affect the process for changing [[gender markers]] on documents issued by the federal government, or documents issued by other US states.
