Marriage Protection Act to Come before Congress
The Marriage Protection Act (MPA) is expected to be heard in Congress sometime in June of this year.
In 1996, Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which permits states to not recognize out-of-state marriage licenses that violate their state laws. The Marriage Protection Act, brought forward by U.S. Representative John Hostettler (R-Indiana), prevents legal challenges to DOMA at the federal level.
Pro-family groups applaud the introduction of MPA. Passage of the Marriage Protection Act requires a simple majority vote in both Houses of Congress and presidential approval.
