The initiative also would prohibit domestic partners from receiving public benefits. Backers will need 183,917 valid signatures to place the amendment on the ballot. The measure would define marriage as being between one man and one woman. The goal would be to prevent any judge from making same-sex marriages legal. They are banned under current state law.
