In recent years, the major LGBT -related measure addressed by the Legislature was the proposed constitutional amendment banning marriage and civil unions for gay couples. Before going before voters in November 2006, the amendment had to be approved by a simple majority of both houses of the legislature in two consecutive sessions.
