HR1039 Summary

• Declares that natural marriage (between one man and one woman) remains Oklahoma law regardless of court decisions, including Obergefell v. Hodges, which the resolution characterizes as "unauthoritative, void and of no effect."

• Directs the Governor to resist unlawful federal or state court encroachments on marriage definition and requires the Attorney General to defend any state official in natural marriage-related lawsuits.

• Prohibits state agencies and officers from enforcing court orders that violate Oklahoma's natural marriage laws, and bars property seizure or arrest of individuals refusing to comply with such orders.

• Mandates that law enforcement actively prevent arrest or imprisonment of any person refusing to comply with court orders regarding natural marriage.

• Establishes a fund to pay fines or levies imposed on state officials acting in their official capacity to defend natural marriage.
