Proposition 22-Vote Yes!

Proposition 22
Limit on Marriages.
Initiative Statute.


BACKGROUND
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.
