Bill > S1025

This bill proposes to amend the North Carolina Constitution by removing a specific provision that defined marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman, thereby repealing the constitutional recognition of this definition as the only valid or recognized domestic legal union in the state. The amendment, if approved by voters in the November 2026 general election, would become effective on January 1, 2027, and would be certified by the State Board of Elections. This action is a constitutional amendment, meaning it requires voter approval to change the state's foundational law.
