TALLAHASSEE, FLA.—Unmarried couples who want to take the plunge and move in together, take heart. A Florida legislator is seeking to make you legal.

“Cohabitation” of unmarried people is currently a second-degree misdemeanor in the U.S. state, punishable by $500 or up to 60 days in jail. The same penalty applies to cheating husbands and wives—though only to opposite-sex couples.

The laws have been on the books since the late 1800s, but are rarely enforced. In 2006, though, a Jacksonville woman did take advantage of the law and have her husband arrested for cheating, according to a news report. (It’s not clear how the case came out.)

Now, Rep. Ritch Workman, a Republican from Melbourne, is on a mission to repeal the statutes penalizing adultery and cohabitation, as well as other laws he finds outdated, such as a requirement that all bicycle riders keep one hand on the handle bars.

He filed adultery the bill last week—it’s HB 4021—though he hasn’t returned phone calls about it for the past two days.

Nobody else much wants to talk about it either.

Asked how Gov. Rick Scott felt about the measure, spokeswoman Amy Graham replied simply, “This isn’t an issue the governor is focused on.”

The bill has no Senate counterpart. And given the almost-certain opposition of social conservatives who lobby hard on “family values” issues, it’ll face tough sledding in an election year.

Consider the response of State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, who previously headed the Florida chapter of the Christian Coalition: “I’m not ready to give up on monogamy and a cultural statement that marriage still matters,” he said.
