Marriage Between Persons of the Same Sex

HB 6019 repeals Florida Statute § 741.212, which previously contained provisions related to marriages between persons of the same sex. This bill removes a legal barrier that no longer aligns with current marriage laws, as same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Florida since 2015. The repeal takes effect on July 1, 2026, and directly affects the state’s legal code by eliminating outdated language without changing marriage eligibility or rights. The bill is currently in committee review and does not create new policy.
