Clarifying Validity of Common Law Marriage

Summary

The bill amends Colorado law to state that any common‑law marriage entered before September 1, 2006, or entered after that date and meeting the requirements of §14‑2‑109.5, is still valid. It affects couples who rely on common‑law marriage for legal rights and clarifies the law for courts and state agencies. The change is intended to prevent confusion after a prior repeal.
