SR 61 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Urging US Supreme Court reverse Obergefell decision

This Senate Resolution urges the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision and restore the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The resolution does not create new laws or change existing regulations but instead asks the Court to reconsider its prior ruling through a formal request. It calls for marriage-related legal authority to return to state governments and their voters, arguing that the federal court decision overstepped constitutional boundaries. The document is a non-binding expression of legislative sentiment rather than a law that directly affects citizens or alters policy.
