Albert Olszewski: Allowing 71 genders on birth certificate costs over $100,000

Republicans warned that the reforms would be expensive to implement. Sen. Albert Olszewski claimed that it would cost between $100,000 and $200,000 to update government forms and computer systems. He also argued that DPHHS should have consulted the State Legislature before mandating the changes.

The Montana Family Foundation has begun circulating a petition which alleges that there are "as many as 71 recognized genders with more being added all the time." LGBTQ advocacy groups have denounced SB 10. Should it pass the House, the legislation is likely to be vetoed by Gov. Bullock, who is a Democrat.
