SB 183- Domestic Partnership bill

Santa Fe-State Senator Bill Sharer who is sponsoring a bill to preserve marriage as between a man and a women said the Domestic Partnership bill that will have a hearing Tuesday afternoon in the Senate Chambers will ultimately refine marriage and sets the state up for a court challenge. “Once you have this in law, the court challenges would be filed and I believe the courts would not have a choice and would define domestic partnerships as marriage.”

The Senate Judiciary and Senate Public Affairs Committees will hold a joint session on Tuesday afternoon to debate SB 183- Domestic Partnerships.


Senator Sharer’s Senate Joint Resolution 1 still has not had a hearing.

It was the first Resolution to be pre-filed in the State Senate and it defines a recognized, valid marriage as between one man and one woman. Senator Sharer said it will guarantee a continuation of society; government also has a compelling interest to ensure that children will be raised in stable households and not in poverty. Plus, it is what nature has designed, government recognizes it because society benefits from it.

Sponsor Senator Bill Sharer said society has a compelling interest in marriage between one man and one woman to procreate children to become the next generation in society so it will survive.
