Bill Summary
A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa regarding the validity and recognition of marriages in the state.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa State Constitution that would define marriage exclusively as a union between one man and one woman, stating that this will be the only legal union valid or recognized in the state. This proposed change, if approved by the General Assembly and then by voters in a future election after proper public notice, would amend Article I of the state's constitution by adding a new section, SEC. 26, to establish this specific definition of marriage.
