2018 SESSION
SB 603 Same-sex marriage; gender-neutral terms.
Introduced by: Adam P. Ebbin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Same-sex marriage; gender-neutral terms. Repeals the statutory prohibitions on same-sex marriages and civil unions or other arrangements between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges and obligations of marriage. These prohibitions are no longer valid due to the United States Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. ___ (June 26, 2015). The bill also makes conforming changes to various laws involving married individuals and their rights stemming from marriage and makes the laws addressing the property rights of married women applicable to all spouses, removing any sex-based classifications.
