Constitutional Repeal of Art. XIV Sec. 6.

This bill proposes to amend the North Carolina Constitution to remove the provision that defines marriage strictly as a union between one man and one woman. If passed by the legislature, the measure would be placed on the November 2026 ballot for voters to decide whether to repeal that specific constitutional language. Should a majority of voters approve the change, the amendment would officially take effect on January 1, 2027, allowing the state to no longer recognize that definition in its constitution. The bill does not alter current laws regarding marriage licenses but instead changes the constitutional framework that currently mandates the one-man, one-woman definition.
