What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
