Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General re: Florida Marriage Protection Amendment
March 23, 2006
At the Florida Attorney General’s request, the Florida Supreme Court issued an advisory opinion, an opinion on a matter of law that does not resolve a particular case, regarding a proposed ballot measure limiting marriage and its “substantial equivalent” to different-sex couples. The court approved the measure, holding that it did not violate the state’s single-subject requirement for ballot measures and that its language was clear and unambiguous.
