The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 513.075, to update the language used in contracts related to cohabitation. Specifically, it replaces the phrase "a man and a woman" with the more inclusive term "the parties." This change reflects a shift towards gender-neutral terminology in legal documents, ensuring that the law applies equally to all individuals regardless of gender.

The amended statute maintains the existing requirements for the enforceability of contracts between parties who intend to live together out of wedlock. These requirements stipulate that the contract must be written and signed by the parties involved, and enforcement can only be sought after the termination of the relationship. The bill aims to modernize the language of the law while preserving the essential legal framework governing cohabitation agreements.
