HR 5001 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A resolution urging the United States Supreme Court to restore the definition of marriage to a union between one man and one woman.

HR 5001 is a non-binding resolution introduced by the North Dakota House of Representatives. It urges the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its 2015 *Obergefell v. Hodges* decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, and restore marriage to its "traditional" definition as a union between one man and one woman. The resolution argues the Supreme Court's ruling conflicts with the Constitution, historical legal traditions, and state sovereignty, claiming it undermines religious liberty and the principle that marriage has been defined as between one man and one woman for centuries. The bill was introduced in January 2025 but was withdrawn from consideration the same month and has no legal effect.
