A concurrent resolution relating to the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in Obergefell v. Hodges .
SCR 3 is a concurrent resolution by the Iowa General Assembly that formally rejects the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 decision in *Obergefell v. Hodges*. This resolution asserts that the ruling, which established the right to same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional and an overreach of judicial power. It calls upon the Supreme Court to reverse *Obergefell* and restore the authority to define marriage as a union of one man and one woman to individual states. Copies of this resolution will be distributed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
