This bill amends Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by repealing Section 1704, which previously defined marriage as being exclusively between one man and one woman. The deleted provision also stated that any same-sex marriage entered into in another state or foreign jurisdiction would be considered void in Pennsylvania, reinforcing the state's previous stance against same-sex marriage.

By removing this section, the bill effectively eliminates the legal barriers to same-sex marriage within Pennsylvania, aligning state law with the evolving national perspective on marriage equality. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
