AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would establish marriage as a fundamental right and explicitly prohibit restrictions on marriage based on gender or race. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the amendment would take effect on January 1, 2027. The ballot question will directly ask Minnesota voters whether they support amending the state constitution to guarantee this right, with a simple "Yes" or "No" response. By adding this language to Article I of the state constitution, the amendment aims to provide legal protection against discriminatory marriage laws and ensure equal marriage rights for all individuals, regardless of gender or racial background. The proposed amendment represents a significant step toward enshrining marriage equality and anti-discrimination principles in Minnesota's foundational legal document.
