Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the law about recognizing marriages made in other states. It would allow Michigan to recognize marriages between "2 parties" instead of only "a man and a woman" if they were legally able to marry in Michigan at the time. The bill also removes a section that specifically said Michigan would not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
