Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

2026-04-30

The proposal would establish federal laws preventing people who are closely related by blood from getting married, setting standards for which family relationships would make a marriage illegal. This would affect couples across the country by potentially overriding or standardizing state laws on incest and consanguinity (blood relation restrictions). The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
