The Pensacola City Council will consider today at its Agenda Review a proposal to create a Domestic Partnership Registry. The ordinance was drafted by the ACLU and proposed by Councilman Larry Johnson.
A Domestic Partnership Registry is a local procedure used to register two unmarried cohabitating adults. The ordinance is modeled after one used by the City of Orlando. Currently 14 cities and counties in the state have such ordinances – covering 47 percent of Florida’s citizens.
Here is the proposed law: Domestic Partnerships.
