Bill > H6039

This bill repeals Section 741.212 of the Florida Statutes, which previously addressed restrictions on marriage between persons of the same sex. By removing this specific section of law, the bill effectively eliminates any existing legal barriers to same-sex marriage in Florida. The bill is straightforward, containing only two sections: the first repealing the specified statute and the second establishing that the law will take effect on July 1, 2025. While the government summary and bill text do not provide extensive details about the specific content of the repealed section, the action suggests a move towards fully legalizing and recognizing same-sex marriages under Florida state law. The delayed effective date of July 1, 2025, provides time for state agencies and local governments to prepare for and implement the change.
