in effect142.10. - Purpose.
The City of Minneapolis recognizes that nationwide debate has advanced an expanded concept of familial relationships beyond traditional marital and blood relationships. This expanded concept recognizes the relationship of two (2) non-married but committed adult partners.
Recognizing this the Minneapolis City Council hereby adopts a process to provide persons to declare themselves as domestic partners, thus enabling employers to voluntarily provide equal treatment in employment benefits for such partners and their dependents. (91-Or-015, § 1, 1-25-91)
