House Joint Resolution No. 2, proposed by Rubel, seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Idaho by repealing Section 28, Article III, which currently prohibits same-sex marriage. The resolution outlines the process for submitting this amendment to the electorate during the next general election, posing the question of whether to repeal the prohibition on same-sex marriage.
Additionally, the resolution directs the Legislative Council to prepare the necessary statements as mandated by Idaho law and instructs the Secretary of State to publish the proposed amendment along with supporting arguments. This initiative reflects a significant shift in the legal landscape regarding marriage rights in Idaho, aiming to allow for greater inclusivity in the definition of marriage.
