House Judiciary Committee scheduled to vote on same-sex marriage bill today
STATE HOUSE – The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote Tuesday on legislation to allow same-sex couples to marry in Rhode Island. No further testimony will be taken at this hearing.
The bill (2013-H 5015) is sponsored by Rep. Arthur Handy (D-Dist. 18, Cranston). It would allow same-sex marriage and recognize unions previously made under the state’s existing civil unions law as marriages.
The hearing is scheduled Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 3 p.m. in Room 35 on the basement level of the State House.
It will be televised live on Capitol Television, which can be seen on Channel 15 by Cox and Full Channel subscribers and on Channel 34 by Verizon viewers.
