Quote"This legislation is long overdue. This is the fifth time it has been introduced in the past nine years and we have passed it in the House three times," said Senate Majority Leader Peter Schwartzkopf (D) in a statement. "This is 2009.

It also exempts religious groups - even if they receive state funding. It also states that employers would not bed required to offer health insurance, pension or other benefits to same-sex couples.
