Rhode Island Governor Promises To Sign Marriage Bill Thursday Afternoon At 5:45

Governor Lincoln Chafee says he will sign Rhode Island‘s marriage equality bill into law at 5:45 PM EDT on Thursday.

The House will vote and is fully expected to pass the bill on Thursday. The vote, called “largely procedural,” ties up a few loose ends after last week’s Senate passage, with a 26-12 vote.

The full House already passed the bill in January, by a 51-19 vote.
