North Dakota resolution to redefine marriage gets Do Pass recommendation
North Dakota lawmakers are weighing a resolution that challenges same-sex marriage, but opposition is strong. House Concurrent Resolution 3013 calls on the U.S. Supreme Court to redefine marriage as solely between a man and a woman, citing states’ rights.
Supporters argue the 2015 Obergefell ruling overstepped federal authority, while opponents say it strips away legal protections, from tax benefits to end-of-life decisions. With the Judiciary Committee recommending against passage, the resolution faces an uphill battle—but the debate over marriage rights in North Dakota is far from over.
The reporting on this from Inforum which is linked below indicates the resolution got a Do Not Pass recommendation. However, the bill’s legislative record in committee from the legislative website records a Do Pass recommendation. In either case, the bill will still have a full vote on the House floor at an upcoming session.
