Protecting the Freedom to Marry

Concerning repealing the statutory unconstitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Session:
2025 Regular Session
Subject:
Children & Domestic Matters
Bill Summary

Colorado statute states that a marriage is valid only if it is between one man and one woman. That provision has been unenforceable since the United States supreme court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015). The bill removes the provision.
(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
