Wisconsin Governor Signs (limited) Domestic Partnership Law

Same-sex couples in Wisconsin will soon be able to obtain domestic partnerships, giving them some of the rights of opposite-sex married couples. The passage of this law, however, is particularly interesting because Wisconsin has a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman and barring any relationship that is "substantially similar to marriage."

The Domestic Parntership provisions are in 09 Wisconsin Act Act 28, starting on page 604.
