The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 68 proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal Section 13 of Article XIII of the state constitution, which currently defines marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman. This amendment aims to eliminate the legal restrictions on marriage and recognizes the validity of marriages beyond this traditional definition, as well as legal statuses similar to marriage for unmarried individuals.
To become effective, this proposed amendment must be adopted by two successive legislatures and subsequently ratified by the electorate. The resolution has been introduced by a group of senators and is co-sponsored by numerous representatives, and it has been referred to the Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs for further consideration. If approved, the amendment will be published for three months prior to the next general election, allowing voters to weigh in on the change.
