Resolution on Obergefell

Montana's SJ 15 is a non-binding resolution calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that Obergefell conflicts with the Constitution, traditional marriage definitions (as a union of one man and one woman), and states' rights to regulate marriage. It specifically requests the Court reverse its ruling, return marriage authority to states, and cites Montana's position that marriage policy should reflect "the will of voters" rather than federal court interpretation. This procedural resolution was tabled by the Judiciary Committee and later died in process, having no legal effect on marriage laws.
