Bill > HF676

This bill updates Minnesota Statutes section 513.075 to use gender-neutral language when describing cohabitation contracts. Specifically, the bill removes gendered terms "a man and a woman" and replaces them with the more inclusive phrase "the parties" when referencing contracts between unmarried individuals who are living together or planning to live together. The core legal provisions remain unchanged: such contracts are only enforceable if they are written, signed by both parties, and enforcement is pursued after the termination of the cohabitation relationship. The modification ensures that the statute's language is more inclusive and does not specify gender requirements for the contract's validity, reflecting a more contemporary approach to describing interpersonal legal agreements.
