Yeah, just picking this up for Simfan, who made some typographical corrections to the one we just passed and added clause 3. I in turn added clause 4 since we are fixing that statute.

I think we can agree that incest is a public health issue that the region should not endorse or treat as valid.

I'm also in favor of a polygamy ban, but we have a statute coming up that does that, so I left it off this one.

Ah, my legislation writing skill (or lack thereof) strikes again.

I do support this.

The Definition of Marriage Act? Yeah, sure. Might be a good idea to do all this in one bill if we can, and then be done with it.
