PROPOSITION 3
Constitutional Right to Marriage. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
ANALYSIS OF MEASURE
BACKGROUND
The federal courts have said that same-sex couples can marry, but outdated language in the California Constitution still says that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
PROPOSAL
Proposition 3 updates the Constitution to match what the federal courts have said about who can marry.
FISCAL EFFECTS
Proposition 3 would not change who is allowed to marry in California. This means there would be no change in revenues or costs to state and local governments.
