HARTFORD — Connecticut could soon join Vermont, Rhode Island and at least five other states in adopting a law that makes it easier for transgender people to obtain a birth certificate that accurately reflects their new gender.

The state Senate gave final approval to a bill Monday permitting people to change the sex designation on their birth certificates even if they have not undergone gender reassignment surgery.
