Sen. Nick Hacker, R-Grand Forks, and Rep. Lois Delmore, D-Grand Forks, are co-sponsors of HB 1184, which would remove the law against cohabitation from the North Dakota Century Code. At the same time, the bill would add a section prohibiting two unmarried people from pretending to be married "in order to obtain the property or services of another by deception. In essence, sponsors said, the bill would remove a law that prohibits two unmarried adults of the opposite sex from living together. It would, however, prohibit those same people from lying about their marital status for material gain. [Grand Forks Herald]
