To change the gender entry and first name, all that is necessary is a declaration to the registry office (§ 2 Para. 1), as well as the assurance that the chosen gender entry or first name best corresponds to the gender identity (§ 2 Para. 2 and 4). For minors over 14 years of age, the consent of a legal representative (or the family court) should be necessary (Section 3 Paragraph 1), for minors under 14 years of age the legal representative should be able to make the declaration themselves (Section 3 Paragraph 2). According to the draft, the declaration must be announced to the registry office three months in advance (§ 4). After the change, a blocking period of one year (§ 5) will apply. Documents that still contain the old first names or the old gender entry should have to be reissued upon request (§ 10). </p><p>Domestic rules (Section 6 Paragraph 2) and sport (Section 6 Paragraph 3) should be independent of gender entry. Medical measures should also not be regulated by the SBGG (Section 6 Paragraph 4). </p><p>In the event that a state of tension or defense is declared, the previous assignment to the male gender should remain in place with regard to "service with weapons" (military service) (§ 9). This should apply to changes in gender entry that were declared at the earliest two months before the defense case was established. </p><p>The SBGG contains a ban on disclosure, according to which it should be forbidden to reveal or research the previous gender entry and previous first names (§ 13). "For special reasons of public interest", e.g. B. for criminal prosecution, this ban is suspended (Section 13 Paragraph 1 Sentence 3). Anyone who violates the ban on disclosure and thereby intentionally harms the person concerned should commit an administrative offense and be liable to a fine of up to €10,000 (Section 14). </p><p>The federal government should be obliged to review the law within five years and report on it to the Bundestag. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legislative_history">Legislative history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Self-Determination_Act_(Germany)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Legislative history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The law was initiated by the progressive <a href="/wiki/Traffic_light_coalition" title="Traffic light coalition">traffic light coalition</a> and voted upon in the <a href="/wiki/Bundestag" title="Bundestag">Bundestag</a> on the 12 April 2024.
