Bill > SB311

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would be voted on by the public in a referendum at the November 3, 2026, general election. If approved, the amendment would remove the current prohibition on same-sex marriage, which defines marriage solely as a union between one man and one woman, and instead establish that marriage is a vital personal right for two adult persons. The amendment would also ensure that the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions cannot deny marriage licenses to two adult persons based on their sex, gender, or race, and would require all lawful marriages between two adult persons to be treated equally under the law, regardless of these characteristics.
