Limit on Marriages.
Initiative Statute.
Under current California law, "marriage" is based on a civil contract between
a man and a woman. Current law also provides that a legal marriage that took
place outside of California is generally considered valid in California. No
state in the nation currently recognizes a civil contract or any other relationship
between two people of the same sex as a marriage.
Proposal
This measure provides that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid
or recognized in California.
Fiscal Effect
This measure would likely have no fiscal effect on the state or local governments.
