SB 2016-007: LGBTQ+ Rights Act (Passed Senate)

[Pragmatic Conservative]

I, do have a question on Section 7 Subsection 3, can you explain what that means in non-legal terms for the ordinary citizen in this country?

I'll let 118AZ clarify if he meant something different, but my understanding is that it is to simply ensure an individual cannot be discriminated against for being married to a member of the same-sex. I think Section 1 essentially covers that so it could probably be cut out if you wanted, though I'll wait to see if 118AZ has anything to say.

To add on to that it basically says same-sex couples are ensured the same benefits that heterosexual couples are ganted by law (such as tax deductions and other legal privileges.)
