DENVER — The Colorado Department of Health and the Environment has approved a major change to the way state birth certificates work.During its monthly meeting on Wednesday, the board voted to allow more identifying options for birth certificates. There will now be four options: male, female, X and intersex.The move follows a state change on Nov. 30 to driver’s licenses and identification cards that added the third option of "X" for a person’s sex. When a child is born, their birth certificate will only have three options: male, female and intersex. "X" is left out since it is not a biological characteristic, Chris Wells with the department of helath and environment said. It will be available for adults who want to amend their birth certificates.The board of health also approved simplifying the process to change the gender identity on a birth certificate. Under current requirements, a person must undergo gender reassignment surgery and prove it to a judge in order to qualify for the change to their birth certificate. Under the newly approved rules, those wishing to change their identities would simply need to fill out a form — no surgery required. Minors will also need a note from either a doctor or a mental health professional supporting the transition. Those who want to change their gender identity can only do so once without a court order. Advocates for the new rules said the gender reassignment surgeries are expensive and those who want to change their gender identity may not even want the surgery."Transgender individuals often face significant discrimination in the employment housing and healthcare and having a birth certificate that accurately describes exactly who they are is huge in reducing the discrimination," said Emma Shinn, a transgender former marine. She was in attendance Wednesday morning. This decision comes in the wake of a civil lawsuit brought by a 13-year-old against the state after he was not allowed to change his gender identity on his birth certificate. This is one of several changes the LGBTQ community is fighting for. Two others could play out in the Colorado state legislature during the next session:First, advocates said they want state ID cards to change the identifying wording from “sex” to “gender” in order to better correlate with how people feel about their identity, rather than how they were born.Second, advocates want a change to Colorado law when it comes to a transgender person switching their name to better reflect their gender. Right now, Colorado law requires a transgender person to seek a court order and print their old and newly chosen names in the newspaper three times within 21 days before officially making the switch. Advocates said that requires these individuals to out themselves to their entire community unnecessarily. 2827

Congressional Democrats have issued subpoenas to the Trump Organization and other Trump businesses tied to a lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of profiting from foreign governments in violation of the Constitution, but the Justice Department is now asking an appeals court to step in and block the move.Democrats sent more than three-dozen subpoenas, demanding a response by July 29, seeking to collect evidence about the President's financial records, after a federal judge ruled last month that Democrats could proceed with the legal discovery process in their lawsuit.But the Justice Department, defending Trump in his presidential capacity, has requested that an appeals court Monday overrule the lower court's decision and prevent the subpoenas from going forward. If the Democratic members of Congress collected evidence in the emoluments lawsuit, DOJ wrote, Trump "is likely to suffer irreparable injury" because of "intrusive discovery into his personal finances based on the public office he holds."The escalating court fight represents a new front in Democrats' quest to obtain the President's financial records, a battle that's now playing out across multiple congressional committees and judicial jurisdictions.The new subpoenas come from the Constitutional Accountability Center, which is representing a group of House and Senate Democrats led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York, who are alleging Trump is violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution.The judge overseeing the suit, Emmet Sullivan of the US District Court in Washington, gave the Democrats permission to subpoena the documents and take depositions beginning June 28.The Justice Department asked in its filing Monday for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to hear their case before Sullivan finishes resolving it at the trial level. The department says Sullivan was wrong in his interpretation of congressional power and the constitutional clause that prohibits officials from receiving benefits from foreign powers.Sullivan previously told the Justice Department that it could not yet appeal his decisions that allowed the case to move forward into evidence-collection."If the district court's clearly erroneous orders are allowed to stand, this improper suit will proceed and the Members will commence discovery aimed at probing the President's personal financial affairs because he holds federal office," the Justice Department wrote to the DC Circuit on Monday.It's an extraordinary step for the Justice Department to go around a lower court's decision before a case is resolved. However, it's not unheard of. The Justice Department used the same maneuver in another case about emoluments, before the federal court in Maryland. The Fourth Circuit, which looks at appeals from Maryland, has not yet decided that case.The DC Circuit hasn't yet decided what it will do.The Democratic subpoenas seek the President's companies' tax returns and other financial information about Trump's business assets. They also request information about three Trump towers in New York, the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, a San Francisco building, and the President's Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago.Blumenthal said the subpoenas were intended to provide "information about foreign government payments accepted by six Trump properties, as well as trademarks granted to Trump businesses by foreign governments.""Unsurprisingly, the Trump Administration is still seeking to delay, delay, delay, but we are confident that the D.C. Circuit will recognize the well-reasoned logic of the District Court, and allow discovery to proceed," Blumenthal said in a statement.Democrats seek Trump finances through multiple channelsThe emoluments lawsuit has plodded along in the federal court since 2017, but the judge's decision on subpoenas gives Democrats a potential new avenue to obtain the President's financial records. While it's the earliest case where Democrats took the President to court, they now are also fighting Trump and his administration in additional court cases to obtain his tax returns and financial records from the Trump Organization's banks and accounting firms.The various cases may take several months -- if not much longer -- to be resolved. Democrats say they're seeking the financial information to conduct oversight of the Trump administration, but if they do obtain the records they're seeking, the documents could also provide them additional evidence beyond what was uncovered by special counsel Robert Mueller should they decide to pursue an impeachment inquiry into the President.Trump has repeatedly accused Democrats of "presidential harassment" in their efforts both to obtain his financial records and haul in his closest aides to testify. In this case, the Justice Department has argued in court that the Constitution's emoluments provision doesn't apply to Trump's business situation, and that any evidence collection for the legal challenge would be too distracting for the President. In other court cases, Trump's private legal team has argued that 5133

DENVER — On World Autism Awareness Day Tuesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill that expands medical marijuana use. Advocates have been fighting for two years to add autism to a list of qualifying medical conditions in Colorado.“I definitely believe it’s going to help kids for many reasons," said Michelle Walker, a parent of an autistic child who has other conditions that qualified him for medical marijuana. "One of the biggest reasons is I’ve seen it. I’ve seen my son’s life change. I’ve seen our family’s life change. It’s done a 180, and we’re not the only ones."Walker and her family moved to Colorado for the sole reason of obtaining medical marijuana for her son. He was able to start using medical marijuana to treat his seizures but said she also noticed a difference in his overall behavior."So I know it is an option for others and that it can be a beneficial option," Walker said.Walker and other families were at the Colorado State Capitol last year when a similar bill was vetoed. Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper did not sign off on the bill because he said more research was needed."It was heartbreaking," she said. "I cried, and my son has access, but to look in these families eyes after they had fought so hard, it was crushing."Those parents cried happy tears when Polis signed the bill on Tuesday. Jackie Bess brought her son Jackson to the governor's office to take part in the celebration. She hopes the move will help normalize the use of medical marijuana for autism ensuring parents will be able to talk about it with their child's doctor."Right now doctors won’t talk to us about it," Bess said. "Definitely, it will help other families."Bess and Walker agree that medical marijuana might not be the right solution for all kids with autism, but they believe families should have the option to try it."We’re not saying medical marijuana for anyone, anything," Bess said. "We’re saying autism is special and it requires some more tools in our toolbox," 2008

DEER PARK, Texas — A massive chemical fire that filled the sky with smoke and flames for days in southeast Texas has finally been snuffed out. But its effects could still be dangerous.The city of Deer Park announced a shelter-in-place order Thursday morning due to concerns about "levels of benzene or other volatile organic compounds within city limits."At least six area school districts have canceled classes Thursday, a day after the flames were extinguished.The Intercontinental Terminals Company said increased levels of benzene were detected early Thursday."These levels are below those that represent an immediate risk," ITC said."We have notified the surrounding municipalities, and out of an abundance of caution, Deer Park Emergency Operations Center has called for shelter in place precautions immediately for all of Deer Park."The neighboring city of Galena Park also issued a shelter-in-place order due to the elevated benzene levels, according to an alert on the city's official website. "We are actively monitoring the air quality and will continue to monitor the situation at ITC in Deer Park," Galena Park Mayor Esmeralda Moya noted in the alert.Acute exposure to benzene can cause headaches, dizziness or loss of consciousness, the 1267
