2004 House Joint Resolution U

House Roll Call 93: Failed

To place before the voters in the August, 2004 primary election a Constitutional amendment to establish that "only the marriage of one man and one woman shall be recognized as a marriage or its legal equivalent by this state or its political subdivisions, excluding all other unions." The measure failed because it takes a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to put a Constitutional amendment on the ballot (73 and 26 votes, respectively).
