ACA 5 California Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by repealing and adding Section 7.5 of Article I thereof, relating to rights.

Summary

The California Constitution provides that only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California, and federal law permanently enjoins the state from enforcing this constitutional provision. This measure would repeal this unenforceable constitutional provision and would instead provide that the right to marry is a fundamental right, as specified.
