Utah’s state Senate on Tuesday unanimously voted to decriminalize polygamy among consenting adults and treat it instead as a simple infraction akin to a parking violation.

After clearing the Senate 29-0, the measure now heads to the state House of Representatives, where its fate is less certain, Reuters reported.

The state currently treats polygamy as a third-degree felony that carries penalties of up to five years in prison, whereas under the bill, the penalty would be reduced to fines up to $750 and community service.

The bill would not affect the separate offense of fraudulent bigamy, in which one person obtains marriage licenses for multiple spouses unbeknownst to them or seeks a nonconsensual marriage to an underage person, which would remain a felony.

State Sen. Deidre Henderson (R) said the bill was intended to allow members of polygamous communities who might be victims of crimes or need medical or mental health care services to come forward without fear of legal consequences.

“The solution to the problem is increased societal integration, which can only come through decriminalizing otherwise law-abiding polygamists,” she said during a preliminary debate last week, according to Reuters. The measure passed out of committee last week.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints formally ended the practice in 1890 as a condition of Utah’s admission into the union, but an estimated 30,000 members of fringe fundamentalist sects of the church continue to practice it.
