permitting consenting adults to enter into contract-based marriage agreements as an alternative to the requirement of a marriage license.

Summary

The bill creates a new legal category called a contract marriage, formed by a signed agreement between two consenting adults and optionally filed with the state. It treats the agreement as a civil contract, not a licensed marriage, so family‑law courts and related statutes do not apply. The measure was declared inadvisable and did not pass.
