Darrell Jackson voted Nay (Cloture Vote) on this Legislation.
Title: Ending Common Law Marriage
Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a bill that ends the state recognition of common law marriages after January 1, 2008, unless the courts rule that a common law marriage existed as of December 31, 2007.
NOTE: INVOKING CLOTURE REQUIRES THE LESSER OF 26 SENATORS OR THREE-FIFTHS OF THE SENATORS PRESENT AND VOTING. IT IS NOT A VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT RATHER LIMITS FURTHER DEBATE. CLOTURE IS TYPICALLY USED TO END A FILIBUSTER. A FAILED CLOTURE VOTE OFTEN PREVENTS THE LEGISLATION FROM EVER COMING TO A VOTE.
