HB 99 (Bigamy Offense Amendments) Libertas Institute opposes this bill. Currently a polygamist can be charged for bigamy if they purport to be married (a clear free speech issue) or cohabit with another person who is not their spouse. This bill basically changes the "or" to an "and," requiring prosecutors to prove both circumstances in order to obtain a conviction.
