A concurrent resolution urging the United States Supreme Court to restore the definition of marriage to a union between one man and one woman.
HCR 3013 is a non-binding resolution passed by North Dakota's legislature urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which established same-sex marriage as legal nationwide. The resolution argues that Obergefell conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and traditional marriage definitions, and it requests the Court restore marriage to "a union between one man and one woman." It failed to pass in the legislature on March 13, 2025, and has no legal effect on marriage laws. This resolution expresses legislative opinion only and does not alter any existing marriage statutes or court rulings.
