Explanation of Proposal
This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2011 legislature on first
consideration, eliminates the restriction that only a marriage between one man and
one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state and the provision
that a legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for
unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state.
A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive
legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
