MARRIAGE – States findings of the Legislature and calls on the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse the decision in Obergefell v. Hodges and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.

HJM 17 is a symbolic joint memorial from the Idaho Legislature expressing opposition to the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. It calls on the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling and restore marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman, citing Idaho's 2006 constitutional amendment defining marriage this way. The resolution does not change any laws or affect anyone directly - it is purely a statement of legislative opinion. It has no legal force and is part of standard procedural steps for such non-binding resolutions.
