The Senate Joint Resolution F, introduced on November 5, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution to eliminate gender limitations in legal contexts. Specifically, it seeks to repeal Section 25 of Article I, which defines marriage as a union exclusively between one man and one woman, thereby broadening the recognition of marriage and similar unions. Additionally, the resolution aims to amend Section 1 of Article X to remove gender-specific language regarding property rights, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of gender, have equal rights to their property before and after marriage.
The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety, and it stipulates that the proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Michigan during the next general election. If passed, this amendment would signify a significant shift towards inclusivity and equality in the state's legal framework, aligning with contemporary views on marriage and property rights.
