HB1092 removes the requirement that marriage be between "a man and a woman," allowing South Dakota to recognize marriages between any two consenting persons. The bill also eliminates the current ban on recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states, meaning South Dakota will now accept all valid marriages contracted elsewhere, regardless of the couple's gender.
